Raheim Sanders has a few more connections to South Carolina than just having played the Gamecocks in week two last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sanders was teammates the last few years with South Carolina tight end Trey Knox, who came over via the transfer portal, and saw how new Gamecocks offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Wednesday he weighed in on both during the Razorbacks\u2019 trip through SEC Media Days. While he wasn\u2019t in the meeting rooms with Loggains, he left impressed with what he saw.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Get news from GamecockCentral via email]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cHe was a great guy and he knew offense well,\u201d Sanders said Wednesday. \u201c(He taught) me some things as well just blocking-wise.\u201d<\/p>\n Loggains spent the last two seasons at Arkansas where he coached the tight ends. Shane Beamer hired the former NFL play caller this offseason to replace offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains.\u00a0<\/p>\n He takes over quarterback coaching duties and with the expectation of taking a step forward offensively this season.<\/p>\n Players, at least from spring conversations, were pleased with what Loggains brought in March and April.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWhile I was making the decision he was basically telling me what kind of offense we were going to run and how he was going to find different ways to get the ball in my hands. Now, that\u2019s my dog,\u201d Juice Wells said in the spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s just a cool guy. He\u2019s a good guy to be around and he\u2019s got high spirits. I love the way he coaches. I love the way he\u2019s finding new ways to get playmakers the ball in space. It\u2019s great. I feel good. Everyone\u2019s happy right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Sanders, though, also weighed in on Knox, who comes over from Arkansas and being in Loggains\u2019 tight end room there.<\/p>\n [Subscribe to GamecockCentral\u2019s YouTube page]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cTrey Knox, I feel like he was a physical guy, very physical guy,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cJust not scared to do blocking things. He knew the plays. Great guy that can catch. Would love to play any position. I feel like he was a great guy.\u201d<\/p>\n Knox was a four-star recruit and the No. 232 player in the rankings coming out of high school as a receiver but made the switch to tight end recently.\u00a0<\/p>\n Over his four years before South Carolina, he caught 81 passes for 883 yards and nine touchdowns. Of those, 26 catches, 287 yards and five scores came last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n He\u2019ll be expected to be a big piece of a Gamecocks offense needing production from the tight ends this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n The post Arkansas running back weighs in on Dowell Loggains, Trey Knox<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Raheim Sanders has a few more connections to South Carolina than just having played the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11020"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11020\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Discuss South Carolina football on The Insiders Forum!<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n
