Stewart and Peak Near Return | College Basketball News

Gamecocks football’s season opener could see two key players, edge rusher Dylan Stewart and offensive lineman Jacarrius Peak, still sidelined—but progress is being made. Coach Shane Beamer confirmed both are ahead of schedule in rehab with no setbacks, now focused on the final hurdle: clearance for full-contact practice. Peak, who missed spring and most of preseason, is especially critical to get back on the line for chemistry before tougher games. While they may not play in the opener, Beamer hinted at potential return windows against Towson or Mississippi State—no rushing, just readiness. The early schedule offers breathing room as both players inch closer to full participation every day. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
