South Carolina Football’s GOAT Series: Top-10 Greatest Offensive Linemen of All-Time
By Kevin Miller
South Carolina Football’s No. 5 Offensive Lineman of All-Time:
G/T/C Zack Bailey
Zack Bailey (2015-2019) was the most consistent offensive lineman for the Gamecocks during the Will Muschamp-era in Columbia. He started at center and both guard spots as a freshman for Steve Spurrier in 2015, making the All-SEC freshman team, but found his home at left guard the following year.
Out of the team’s necessity, Bailey spent some time starting at right tackle in 2017 before moving back to guard. The position changes likely cost him an all-conference selection, but he made up for it with a selection the following season. Bailey is still in the NFL, having spent time with the Buccaneers, Colts, Vikings, Commanders, and Chargers.
