Star power: South Carolina football vs. Mississippi State
The South Carolina football program returns to Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday night to take on Mississippi State.
GamecockCentral.com has a look back at how Gamecocks and Bulldogs players stacked up as prospects during the recruiting process.
All rankings listed below come from the On3 Consensus, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. All listed players come from the officially-issued depth charts provided by the two programs; projected/actual starting lineups may differ.
Two notes for the South Carolina football listings here: Juice Wells was listed on the depth chart by USC as as starter, but Shane Beamer has said he’s out. We put O’Mega Blake in his place. We also listed true freshman Jalon Kilgore as a starter at DB based on the last game, despite him not being listed as one on the depth chart.
