The South Carolina football team kicked off spring practice this week as they look to build upon last year’s seven-win campaign.
Shane Beamer and Co. surprised everyone in the head coach’s first season on the sidelines, doubling the projected win total and getting to a bowl game. South Carolina knocked off the likes of Auburn, Florida, and UNC, culminating with the Gamecocks’ first-year leader being doused in mayonnaise.
The South Carolina faithful is excited for the future of the football program.
Not only did the Gamecocks show massive improvements in 2021, they landed a ton of immediate playmakers over the offseason.
One of those performers is QB Spencer Rattler, who’s expected to take over under center for the South Carolina offense next year.
It’s not all been easy in getting the signal caller settled in South Carolina.
The Gamecocks fought off a number of high-profile programs to land Rattler’s commitment. Coaches have also had to defend their new star from the attacks of naysayers.
Rattler’s not listening to the outside noise, though, and is instead focusing on getting better.
South Carolina fans got their first glimpse of that hard work paying off with the opening of spring practice.

South Carolina will continue practicing through the spring before participating in the annual Spring Game this April. Before we know it, the college football season will be here.
The Gamecocks are hoping that Rattler’s performance will give them a boost in the uber-competitive SEC.
