If South Carolina loses Ty’Son Williams, here’s what it might mean for the backfield

South Carolina’s Ty’Son Williams put his name in the NCAA transfer portal, which doesn’t guarantee he’ll leave USC, but it certainly points to that.

So what might that mean for South Carolina’s backfield?

The Gamecocks went into the 2019 offseason looking to sort through a group heavy on options but short on guaranteed answers. If Williams leaves, that removes one of four potential seniors from the group.

The first and most notable impact would be to make it less likely A.J. Turner focuses his attention on defense. The do-everything Virginia product spent the end of the season chipping in at corner, even playing a fair amount of it late in the bowl loss.
