Javon Charleston may be the only one who expects him to be starting at safety when the 2018 season begins, but that’s not going to dampen his belief.
“I am 100 percent confident in myself,” the 6-foot-1, 186-pound junior said. “Right now, it’s just me being comfortable. I know the defense. I know everything.”
Charleston worked as a starting safety most of the spring alongside Steven Montac, but head coach Will Muschamp said Montac is the only player at the position he feels comfortable can play “championship” football at the moment. South Carolina will get Jaylin Dickerson and Jamyest Williams, who could play safety, back from injury by the fall.
