The South Carolina Gamecocks released their first official depth chart before their home opener against the Tennessee Volunteers this week, and there aren’t too many surprises — except Wingate transfer receiver Jalen Brooks might be off the books this season.
Wide receiver Jalen Brooks had his waiver denied by the NCAA. South Carolina is appealing the decision. It'll be a blow for the Gamecocks if he can't play this year. Was on track to start.

Why the NCAA won’t let him play in an extremely permissive season regarding eligibility — especially since he’s not even a Power 5 or FBS transfer — is beyond my ability to understand, but NCAA gonna NCAA, I guess.
