Gamecocks Add Proven Kicker Sanchez | Columbia News

South Carolina just landed a major special teams upgrade with the signing of kicker Ethan Sanchez, who’s using his extra year of eligibility to join the Gamecocks. After three seasons at Old Dominion and a standout year at Houston — where he was an All-Big 12 selection and Lou Groza Award semifinalist — Sanchez nailed 21 of 26 field goals, including a 52-yarder, and converted all 43 extra points. His 21 made kicks rank second in Houston history for a single season. Bonus: he already played at Williams-Brice Stadium in 2024, making two field goals when Old Dominion faced South Carolina. This is a proven, award-caliber kicker who knows the place well — and now he’s ready to light up the Gamecocks’ special teams unit.
