South Carolina football spring practice opens Wednesday. It will be the first college practice for nine USC early enrollees.
A few freshman Gamecocks who could use the spring to make a case for roles in 2019.
Defensive end Zacch Pickens
A lot of eyes will be on the new quarterback, but Pickens has the best chance to be a quick-impact guy. He’s at a spot with some depth, projecting to play in the interior defensive line, but Will Muschamp’s staff has regularly played freshmen or first-year players up front. If Pickens’ play matches his hype, he’s going to make an impact this season.
