This week we’re taking a team-by-team look at some of the intriguing freshmen on SEC teams and who among them could be instant-impact players.
Next up are the South Carolina Gamecocks.
QB Jake Bentley: We’ve all heard Brandon McIlwain’s name already. The ESPN 300 quarterback enrolled early and went through spring practice. He threw for 169 yards and two touchdowns in the spring game. But now there’s another stud freshman on campus. Bentley, originally in the 2017 class, graduated high school a year early and will be eligible to play this fall.
