Episode Details

South Carolina’s special teams are heating up ahead of the new season, with a fierce kicker battle shaping up between Malik Orsan, Upton Bellenfant, and sophomore Max Kelley — all impressing coach Matthew Smiley enough to make the call tough. The unit needs consistency after a mixed 2023, highlighted by standout punt returner Vicari Swain’s three game-changing touchdowns, but plagued by just one blocked kick. Swain remains a key weapon for “Beamer Ball,” while the long snapper spot sees four contenders vying for roles — including potential dual duties — as coaches let competition drive decisions. Expect high stakes and hard choices as training camp unfolds.
