Wow, alright, here goes nothing. So, picture me with a messy desk, coffee stain on my shirt, trying to wrap my head around this football saga. South Carolina Gamecocks… haven’t exactly been the talk of the town lately, right? But hang on—Shane Beamer’s got them on a whole new wave.
There’s this list of top college football players for 2025, and bam! Two Gamecocks in the Top 10. Like, how did that happen? Dylan Stewart, he’s ranked No. 2. Right behind Ohio State’s hotshot Jeremiah Smith. And quarterback LaNorris Sellers? He’s at No. 8. Serious talent explosion here.
Let’s flashback a second. The Gamecocks were kind of meh with their 9-4 thing last season, but come on, having top-tier players like these guys changes the game. South Carolina in the SEC—it’s like trying to stand out at a rock concert. Loud, crowded, but somehow thrilling.
I mean, back in the day around 2013, under that legend Steve Spurrier, they were winning 11 games a season. Felt like yesterday. Then Spurrier retired, Muschamp came in, and… well, things were rocky. He got the boot after some losses in 2020.
But Beamer? The guy’s like a wild card. Not perfect, with his best record last year, and a 1-2 bowl game stat which is kinda “meh, whatever”—but there’s this buzz about him. He’s snagged Stewart and Sellers, top recruits, and it’s like he’s crafting this magical comeback saga.
Anyway, Stewart’s coming off strong—23 tackles, 6.5 sacks, you get the drift. Brooks called him a game-changer—like, he’s just getting warmed up! And Sellers, the kid’s dual-threat all the way. A quarterback with killer instincts and precision. Not every day you find one like him who isn’t tossing wild throws.
So, 11 players on both sides, I know, probably a basic point, but these two? Top-notch impact players. The Gamecocks might pull something special by 2025. Or maybe I’m just caught up in the hype. You never really know how things shake out until the whistle blows, right?
