🎥 TAILGATE TALKS

Tailgate Talks: Demetrius Knight — From under-recruited to second round pick, who doesn't love an underdog story? Demetrius Knight played sparingly his first four years in college, but became a fan favorite in a matter of a few months in the Garnet & Black. D-Knight joins the Tailgate right after his life-changing phone call on NFL Draft night.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Staying Still. The women’s golf team remains in first at the NCAA Charlottesville Regional! They sit 5-under after two rounds of play, leading the field by six shots. Louise Rydqvist is tied for second, Eila Galitsky is tied for fifth, and Hannah Darling is tied for seventh.

🔺 Tourney Time. The No. 14/12 Gamecock softball team begins SEC Tournament play tonight! They’ll take on Alabama at 8 p.m. on SEC Network.

🔺 First Timer. Men’s golfer Nathan Franks will make his PGA Tour debut tomorrow! He’ll tee off at the 2025 ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic at Dunes Golf and Beach Club. He earned his spot after winning The Q at Myrtle Beach back in March.
