Last year, this Gamecock was frustrated. Now he’s a projected starter

A season ago at this time, Kiel Pollard was frustrated to say the least.

He’d come to South Carolina as one of the more promising prospects in Will Muschamp’s first recruiting class. He’d changed positions and played in 25 games in two years, but mostly a special teamer. He was buried on the tight end depth chart and had all of two catches.

But he persevered. Now he enters next season with a different term attached to his name: presumptive starter.

“It’s unbelievable that these four years are almost gone,” Pollard said.
