The leading receiver for South Carolina last year against Tennessee will not be able to go in this year’s game, Shane Beamer confirmed on Tuesday. Juice Wells, who caught 11 passes for 177 yards against the Volunteers last November, aggravated a foot injury that he has been dealing with since the preseason.
Wells has only appeared in two games this season for South Carolina. The 6-1 senior caught a touchdown pass against Georgia before exiting with a foot injury. He was unable to return against the Bulldogs, and also missed last week’s game against Mississippi State.
Not only did Wells power the Gamecocks to a win over Tennessee last season, he backed that up with a nine catch, 131 yard, two touchdown performance to take down Clemson during the following week.
