The Story: My Motivation — The in-season weekly docuseries, "The Story" returns this fall, and episode one is out now! As the offseason winds down, Gamecocks past and present are gearing up for new chapters. For linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. that means starting his NFL career. A journey that comes with extra motivation for the married father of two. For defensive coordinator Clayton White, that means replacing him and several other starters from a talented defense. Both are ready for their new challenges as the 2025 season nears.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Trench Talk. The Gamecock offensive line, led by a group of experienced tackles, is set for another strong season. Despite the challenges posed by protecting a dual-threat quarterback like LaNorris Sellers, the line is confident in its ability to protect him and open up running lanes. The unit looks to build on last year’s success, emphasizing physicality, technique, and consistency.

🔺 Bright Future Ahead. Sophomore women’s golfer Eila Galitsky made it to the quarterfinals of the 2025 U.S. Women’s Amateur! She earned the No. 3 seed for match play after shooting 8-under in the 36-hole stroke play qualifying portion. She advanced through the round of 32 and the round of 16 to earn a spot in the final eight. She eventually fell to Stanford All-American Megha Ganne in the quarterfinals.

 

🔺 Smarty Cocks. Gamecock softball finished the 2024-25 year with the 11th highest GPA in Division I! Additionally, 18 student-athletes earned All-American Scholar-Athlete honors. South Carolina earned the Easton/NFCA Team GPA award with a combined 3.724 GPA, the highest among Power 4 programs.
