The South Carolina football team has two NFL prospects starting on the back end of its defense in cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Israel Mukuamu. Both have shown up as first-round selections in recent mock drafts.
CBSSports released an NFL mock draft this week, and one current Gamecock is listed as a headliner. Cornerback Jaycee Horn is projected to be selected with the 29th pick by the New Orleans Saints, the team his father, Joe, played for from ’00-’06.
