South Carolina Gamecocks positional preview: tight ends

Every new quarterback needs his go-to guy. Could one of South Carolina's tight ends be young starter Connor Mitch's safety valve in Year 1?

Who's gone?

Who's back?

Who's new?

Hayden Hurst, Connor Redmond, Kyle Markway

Key stat: South Carolina hasn't had a TE catch 25 (or more) passes in a season since Weslye Saunders had 32 catches in 2009. With the way the fans have promoted USC tight ends in recent years, it's hard to believe one of them couldn't average two receptions per game in a season.
