Episode Details

South Carolina made its presence felt in the 2026 NFL Draft — but just how strong was this class? 🐔🔥

In this episode, we break down how South Carolina Gamecocks football performed in the draft, highlighting all three selections: Brandon Cisse, Jalon Kilgore, and Nick Barrett.

We dive into each player’s draft spot, team fit, and what their path to success looks like at the next level. Which Gamecock has the highest ceiling? Who’s the safest bet to stick in the NFL?

But the conversation doesn’t stop there…

We also spotlight the undrafted free agents from South Carolina who are already getting NFL opportunities. From rookie minicamp invites to priority free agent deals, we break down who has the best chance to make a roster and why going undrafted isn’t the end of the road.

Finally, we take a big-picture look at what this draft class says about the program under Shane Beamer. Is South Carolina building a reputation as a pipeline to the NFL?
