South Carolina football may be getting a key DB back for 2021.

When former South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp was fired midseason, a number of Gamecock defensive backs opted to sit out the final three games of the year. Two of those defenders were Jaycee Horn and Israel Mukuamu, who have made their intentions to pursue professional careers known. Horn is viewed by most as a first-round selection, while Mukuamu will likely be picked up in day two or three of the draft.
