Luke Doty is the future of South Carolina football.

This past weekend, former South Carolina starting signal caller Ryan Hilinski officially announced his plan to leave football program. In a message to the Gamecock fanbase, the California native thanked his supporters for giving him “a home when [he] didn’t know where home was.” He went on to express his gratitude to the coaching staff and teammates that made his stay in Columbia enjoyable, despite having the weight of his brother’s passing on his shoulders.
