All the praise for freshman cornerback Jaycee Horn culminated Tuesday when the four-star prospect was placed on the top of South Carolina’s depth chart at nickel back.
“It’s all about getting your best four and five out there. We recognized very early in camp Jaycee was going to be one of those guys,” head coach Will Muschamp said Tuesday. “As we continued to rep through camp, seeing Keisean (Nixon) rep outside and Jaycee rep inside, felt comfortable playing him inside.”
Muschamp ran his thoughts by starting wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards before announcing the depth chart Tuesday.
