Shane Beamer beat Frank Beamer's (former) team in the Beamer Bowl. The son triumphed over his father's former program, and the South Carolina Gamecocks flew home with a 24-11 victory over the Virginia Tech Hokies.
The on-field victory wasn't the only win for Beamer and the Gamecocks, though. In attendance for the Week 1 matchup in Atlanta was five-star prospect Joshua Dobson, a native of South Carolina and someone that Beamer has his sights set on.
Dobson is the No. 1 cornerback in the class of 2027, according to On3 and Rivals. Already, the young defensive back has received dozens of Division I offers, including ones from the Gamecocks, the Clemson Tigers, and more.
