South Carolina Football: Top 5 Quarterbacks on Gamecocks’ Schedule
By Jacob Elsey
#4. KELLEN MOND
Mond has been at Texas A&M for what feels like a lifetime. The senior-to-be has played in 36 career games, racking up 7,379 yards and 52 touchdowns through the air, and adding another 1,315 yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground.
Mond’s accuracy has increased every season, as noted by a yearly improvement in completion percentage. Last year, he finished third in the SEC in passing yards, behind only Heisman trophy winner Joe Burrow and Florida’s Kyle Trask.
Against the Gamecocks, Mond has been unstoppable. He’s 3-0 vs. South Carolina, throwing for a total of 733 yards, including a 353-yard performance in 2018. He’s also racked up 167 rushing yards.
SportingNews ranks Mond as one of the top 15 quarterbacks in college football, landing at No. 12 on the list. He’s also been projected by some draft analysts as a first-round pick in 2021.
