The Story: My Motivation — 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

🔺 Becoming A Leader. Senior defensive back DQ Smith is taking on a leadership role for the Gamecocks this season. With seven starters gone from last year’s defense, Smith aims to set an example and help the team make a College Football Playoff appearance. He credits his experience as a quarterback in high school for his success on defense and looks forward to making the most of his final season.

🔺 Practice Makes Perfect. Gamecock men’s basketball will play NC State in an exhibition game on October 26 at First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. Tickets for the game will go on sale Friday, August 22 at 10 a.m. here. The 2025-26 Gamecocks feature 11 new players with six transfers.
