South Carolina outfielder Brandon McIlwian is probably one of the more popular baseball players you'll find with only 10 college at-bats on his record.

At least that's what one would take seeing the crowd of cameras and microphones that descended upon him when he spoke Friday morning.

McIlwain focused on the small things, competing, contributing to the team, just a little football in his first interview in a Gamecocks uniform. The two-sport athlete went through a full baseball season and started a fourth of a football season at quarterback before finally speaking publicly.

And he was all business.
