There are two hurdles four-star freshman Josh Belk will have to overcome if he’s going to help South Carolina’s football team this season.
The first is the NCAA. The Gamecocks are waiting for word on a waiver request they have filed that would allow Belk, who transferred from Clemson during the offseason, to play immediately rather than sitting out a season as most transfers are required to do. South Carolina officials cited a “situation with his family” in the request and are “very optimistic in his case,” Muschamp said Saturday.
The next step might be harder, and that’s trimming weight.
