USC commit hoping to practice with team before bowl game

Tyreek Johnson has gone a long time since getting to do actual football activity. So its no surprise he wants to get back at it ASAP.

And he might have the chance in the next month.

The former Lakewood High School defensive lineman greyshirted this fall and is set to join the South Carolina football team. He’s still nailing down the specifics of when he’ll sign, but he’d like to as early as he can (Dec. 20). He said Gamecocks coaches mentioned the potential of getting him onto the practice field before the bowl game.

“Late December, I don’t know the exact date, I’m going to be leaving to go to the bowl practices,” Johnson said.
