South Carolina’s wide receivers group is getting plenty of hype heading into the 2018 season.
Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards were recently named two of the top 30 receivers in the country by Athlon Magazine, while Shi Smith appears ready for a breakout year after hauling in 29 passes for 409 yards and three touchdowns without a drop as a freshman last year.
Gamecocks offensive coordinator and receivers coach Bryan McClendon is instructing his unit on how to handle all of the added attention.
“Those guys have played a bunch of ball so those are the guys that people know,” McClendon said Tuesday night at the South Carolina Coaches for Charity event in Greenville.
