Third-year Gamecock's goal: 'I don’t want to sit on the bench' | The State

Tight end Kiel Pollard joined South Carolina as a high-profile flip in Will Muschamp’s first recruiting class. As a freshman, he got spot snaps in the slot as USC played two tight ends nearly the whole season.

But his sophomore campaign was not what he wanted.

Pollard got only 27 offensive snaps in 2017. Some were in garbage time. There were a variety of factors, and he returns as part of a tight ends room that’s still relatively stacked.

And he’s looking for a different sort of season from last year.

Never miss a local story.
