South Carolina football will head into the 2025 season with three of its top playmakers recognized among the SEC's best. On Tuesday, the league announed its preseason All-SEC teams, and the Gamecocks were well represented.
Dylan Stewart, the sophomore edge rusher from Washington, D.C., earned first-team honors after making a name for himself as a true freshman in 2024. Stewart finished the season with 10.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, and was a finalist for the Shaun Alexander National Freshman of the Year award. He has already collected several preseason honors, including first-team All-American recognition from the Associated Press, further raising expectations for his second season.
