Gamecocks in the 2021 NFL draft
There have been 4 former South Carolina Gamecock football players projected to be taken in the 2021 NFL draft. The first on the list is Jaycee Horn, who played a very important role in the Gamecock’s secondary. He is projected to go in the first round, based off many different mock drafts. Another Gamecock who is expected to be taken in the fourth round is Israel Mukuamu, who made his biggest impact against Georgia with 3 interceptions. These 3 interceptions allowed for South Carolina to upset Georgia. Another Gamecock expected to be taken in the draft is Shi Smith. He is supposed to be taken in the 5th round. He made a huge impact on the Gamecocks, because he was the only dependable receiver on the Gamecocks. Another player from South Carolina Sadarius Hutcherson is expected to go in one of the middle rounds. He was a very important part of the South Carolina offensive line. All of these former Gamecocks will be missed and will leave gaps for the younger players to fill.
