For South Carolina’s defense and thereby football team to compete against the Alabamas and Georgias of the world, the Gamecocks are going to need more Tyreek Johnsons.
“That’s what we know we have to do here. We have to recruit guys who have frames and then we have to develop them with our nutrition program and the weight room and develop them technique wise,” defensive line coach Lance Thompson said.
That’s what has happened with Johnson, who was a Shrine Bowl selection from Lakewood High School in Sumter in 2016 despite an injury that cost him the end of his senior season in high school.
