A freshman quarterback on the South Carolina football team is getting a look at a new position this offseason.
Luke Doty came to Columbia as a highly touted, dual-threat quarterback. That hasn’t changed, but his role on the offense may be expanding a little bit this offseason.
Doty has recently been seen taking a few reps at wide receiver as the Gamecocks begin their fall practices leading up to the regular season. It may come as a bit of a shock to fans, as the Myrtle Beach product was rated by all three major recruiting sites as a top 100 player and a top five signal caller, but if you look a little harder, it’s not as surprising as you’d think.
