South Carolina’s DJ Wonnum not dressed for Georgia game

South Carolina football will be without star defensive end D.J. Wonnum in its biggest game of the season.

Wonnum was on a scooter, with his left ankle in a boot and not in pads during the team’s warmups. He sprained his ankle in the opener against Coastal Carolina and was in a boot the first half of this week.

He had been listed on the team’s dress list, but was considered a game-time decision. Will Muschamp had said through the week he expected Wonnum to play.

Wonnum broke out as a sophomore, leading the team in sacks and tackles for loss.

Backup Daniel Fennell was with the first team in warmups.
