Skai Moore makes Colts roster and other NFL Gamecocks find out if they made the cut
While South Carolina football took the field for the first time in the 2018 on Saturday, defeating Coastal Carolina 49-15, former Gamecocks learned their NFL fates as pro teams had to trim their rosters to 53 players by 4 p.m.
Leading the charge, linebacker Skai Moore made the cut for the Indianapolis Colts, completing an impressive comeback from this spring, when he went undrafted, surprising many analysts and Gamecock fans. With usual starting middle linebacker Anthony Walker out with injury, Moore should get a shot at the starting lineup in Week 1.
Moore had the chance to celebrate his success back in Columbia, as he and former Gamecock Chris Lammons watched the Coastal Carolina game at Williams-Brice Stadium. Lammons learned Saturday that he had been cut by the Atlanta Falcons, but he is considered a prime candidate to be signed to a practice squad.
Another undrafted USC rookie, Taylor Stallworth, made the cut for the New Orleans Saints.
Here’s a full list of South Carolina alums in the pros, along with their teams and status after the roster deadline. It will be updated.
