Stewart Could Return vs Mississippi State | South Carolina Gamecocks Football News

Dylan Stewart, South Carolina’s star pass rusher sidelined by back and hip injuries last season, is inching toward a return — possibly as early as the Mississippi State game, their third contest. Though he’s out for the opener against Kent State, Stewart’s comeback could hit at the perfect time for their first SEC showdown. Despite missing spring practice to recover, he still delivered 33 tackles and 4.5 sacks in 11 games last year. With career totals of 56 tackles, 22.5 TFLs, 11 sacks, and six forced fumbles, his return would be a major boost to their defensive line. Still not cleared for contact, his timeline hinges on progress before the Towson game — so don’t count on it yet, but the momentum is building.
