Beamer Keeps Secrets as Kickers Battle | College Basketball News

South Carolina’s football team is staying tight-lipped ahead of their season opener against Kent State—no depth chart, no named starters. Coach Shane Beamer says it’s not secrecy, but strategy: check the pregame warmups for who’s really playing. The kicker battle? Still wide open—with Max Kelley, Malik Orsan, and Upton Bellenfant all firing on all cylinders. Bellenfant brings college experience, but the competition’s fierce. Beamer wants consistency, and he’s seeing encouraging signs. Two key players are definitely out: offensive line transfer Jacarrius Peak and edge rusher Dylan Stewart. Peak’s absence leaves a gap, but Beamer’s been building depth. Most of the roster’s healthy, except for Peak and Josiah Thompson. Now it’s about figuring out who steps up—and how they perform on Saturday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
