Gamecocks Kicking Uncertainty | South Carolina Gamecocks Football News

South Carolina’s Gamecocks aim for a perfect 3-0 home record against Mississippi State, but their kicking unit is under the microscope after kicker Max Kelley’s shaky performance. With transfer Ethan Sanchez—last season’s kicking award finalist—still ineligible due to NCAA rule changes and legal gray areas, coach Shane Beamer insists patience is key. Though Sanchez has pushed teammates to improve in practice, he hasn’t seen game action yet. For now, Kelley and rookie Malik Orson (perfect on extra points) will handle kickoffs, as the Gamecocks prepare for a high-stakes SEC showdown at 4:15 PM ET on the SEC Network.
