Stock watch: Five players up, five down

FIVE ON THE RISE

WR Joe Hills

He was in danger of being lost in the shuffle among the receivers. Five catches for 75 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown catch from Stephen Garcia, changes that.

RB Jarvis Giles

The true freshman showed big-play ability in the spring game, which validates his performance in practice and the hype surrounding his high school career.

CB Stephon Gilmore

A few months after arriving on campus he has been named the starting cornerback entering fall practice. Gilmore also got a look at quarterback in some packages, and coach Steve Spurrier vowed to find ways to get him the ball.

LB Alonzo Winfield

The starter at the Spur position — the hybrid safety and linebacker spot — and if he continues to do well, that will allow Darian Stewart to stay at safety.

OL T.J. Johnson

Took full advantage of the spring, going from a backup to the leader for a starting guard spot. It helped that Lemuel Jeanpierre got hurt.

FIVE ON THE FALL

QB Aramis Hillary

The redshirt freshman faltered during practice, and his spring game performance (1-for-4 for 8 yards) did little to help his case. He enters the summer fourth on the depth chart, behind walk-on Zac Brindise.

DT Ladi Ajiboye

The two-year starter was suspended indefinitely and missed the entire spring. He could return, but Travian Robertson made strides so Ajiboye’s starting spot is not automatic.

OL Terrence Campbell

After making nine starts last year he entered the spring first on the depth chart at right guard. But he was passed by T.J. Johnson and will enter next season in a competition for both guard spots.

CB Addison Williams

He had the first shot to inherit Captain Munnerlyn’s starting spot, but Gilmore grabbed it from him. Williams, who played extensively his first two seasons at USC, still figures to play a lot next season.

K Adam Yates

The walk-on freshman was going to be given a shot at the kicking duties since Spencer Lanning will punt. But Yates’ lone attempt in the spring game, from 42 yards, barely got off the ground.
