One player who could replace Hayden Hurst’s versatility for USC
South Carolina’s football team has a large, red-haired void to fill at the tight end position, and is short an experienced player to fit the all-around skillset the last guy possessed.
Jacob August is the most experienced tight end on the roster, but he and teammate Kyle Markway are primarily blockers. K.C. Crosby and Kiel Pollard are better in the pass game, but neither stands much taller than 6-foot-1, a little small to factor in the run game.
So who might fit the all-around role Hayden Hurst is leaving behind?
The answer might be Evan Hinson, the soon-to-be third-year player who moonlights on the basketball team. Last season, he played special teams and got a few snaps at tight end.
