In terms of playing a role, Jamyest Williams has given South Carolina football a good number of snaps in his first season and a half on campus.
The 5-foot-9 defensive back was the team’s starting nickel most of the 2017 season. This fall, the Grayson High School product has been at safety, helping hold up a struggling position and occasionally dropping down to nickel when things get shuffled.
He came in as a four-star prospect, and his career has been fraught with highs and lows through 17 games. USC coach Will Muschamp was asked recently on his weekly call-in show if Williams could ever find himself playing a pure cornerback role.
