South Carolina Football: 10 Important Questions for 2023

Questions for South Carolina football in 2023: How Will The Defense Look at Corner?
With Cam Smith and Darius Rush both likely selected in April’s NFL Draft, two gaping holes exist on the outside of Defensive Coordinator Clayton White’s unit. Lots of questions now exist regarding the position. Marcellas Dial has played a lot of football for the Gamecocks and looks to be in line to start at one of the cornerback spots, but is he ready for full-time duty? KaJuan Banks and O’Donnell Fortune both played some reserve snaps at the position, as well, but will they or another player step up to fill the shoes left by the NFL talents before them? Cam Smith spent some time inside at nickel, and presumed safety starter DQ Smith did as well, so who takes the spot in 2023? Time will tell.
