4 South Carolina football players were drafted this weekend.
The NFL Draft kicked off last Thursday night, where we heard the first of four Gamecocks called to the stage as they look to begin a career at the professional level. Within the first eight picks, cornerback Jaycee Horn was taken off the board, and he’ll make the short trip up the road to Charlotte to play for the Carolina Panthers. Horn became the seventh player in program history to be taken in the top 10, and the 16th first round selection.
