South Carolina opens spring practice on Feb. 28. Between now and then, The State newspaper will take a position-by-position look at the Gamecocks roster. Today, we’ll look at linebackers.
Starters
Bryson Allen-Williams, Senior, 6-0, 230 – The veteran played in only three games last year because of a shoulder injury that will limit him this spring, but he is expected to return to full strength and his starting job in the fall. He has 17.5 tackles-for-loss in his career, and his return should help make up for the exit of Skai Moore.
T.J. Brunson, Junior, 6-1, 230 pounds – It’s time for a breakout year for Brunson, who started all 13 games at middle linebacker last year.
