This true freshman ‘expected to play’ in 2018, Gamecocks football assistant says

South Carolina freshman tailback Deshaun Fenwick will have to do a lot to earn carries in the 2018 season.

The team returns its top three backs from 2017 (the trio of A.J. Turner, Rico Dowdle and Ty’Son Williams), and the No. 4 back (Mon Denson), and even the No. 5 option (Wisconsin transfer Caleb Kinlaw, who got carries in garbage time). But USC’s staff is confident he’ll make it on the field this fall.

“He’s expected to play,” Gamecocks running backs coach Bobby Bentley said. “It’s just up to him how much he plays and what his role will be.
