South Carolina has not had a first-round draft pick since Jadeveon Clowney went No. 1 overall in 2014, but that could change this year.
Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com released his first mock draft of 2018 on Friday and has former Gamecock Hayden Hurst going in the first round.
Jeremiah projects Hurst to be drafted No. 29 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars and says of the potential move, “The Jaguars need to add another tight end and I love both Hurst and South Dakota State’s Dallas Goedert. Either option would be a nice fit.”
Jeremiah has Southern Cal quarterback Sam Darnold going No.
