Five Gamecocks veterans will likely miss spring practice
South Carolina football will be without a set of key veterans through spring practice, coach Will Muschamp announced Thursday.
The Gamecocks had some players whose in-season injuries’ recovery time is carrying over. Spring ball starts Feb. 26. The injured players include:
▪ Nick Muse, a projected top tight end who is recovering from a torn ACL.
▪ Dylan Wonnum, starting offensive tackle, who had a genetic hip condition that was fixed surgically.
▪ Tyreek Johnson, reserve defensive lineman who had the same procedure wide receiver OrTre Smtih had to repair a subluxed kneecap.
▪ Kingsley Enagbare, a defensive end who hurt his hip getting cut-blocked against Clemson. Muschamp didn’t explicitly say he was out, but did not sound optimistic.
▪ Spencer Eason-Riddle, a reserve linebacker/fullback and special-teamer who tore his ACL and waited until after New Year’s Day to have surgery.
Freshman linebacker Mohamed Kaba will also miss the spring after a torn ACL that happened his senior season of high school.
