Three Gamecocks to likely pass on remaining eligibility, per Shane Beamer
Three South Carolina seniors with eligibility remaining aren’t expected back in 2023.
Head coach Shane Beamer told reporters on Saturday he doesn’t anticipate receiver/tight end Chad Terrell or offensive linemen Hank Manos and Wyatt Campbell will return for another season, despite having varying amounts of eligibility available. All three walked during senior day festivities on Nov. 19 prior to the win over Tennessee.
“They’re not involved in our workouts right now,” Beamer said. “But great young men and want to certainly wish them well and (thank them) for everything they did for Gamecock football, as well.”
Terrell, a high-three-star recruit in the 2017 class, battled injuries and position changes throughout his Gamecocks career. The Mississippi product tore an ACL three times over five-plus years in Columbia — once in 2018, again in 2020 and finally during fall camp in 2022. Despite that, he appeared in 27 contests, working at both tight end and receiver. He recorded seven career receptions for 76 yards.
Manos and Campbell both worked mostly in reserve roles along the offensive line. Manos spent the bulk of his career on the inside, backing up starter Eric Douglas at center this fall. The Chapin product played in 28 games over his five-year South Carolina career.
Campbell spent the bulk of his Gamecock career at tackle, but also worked as a tight end in goal line packages this fall. The former Lugoff-Elgin standout appeared in nine games in 2022 and 12 total over four full seasons in Columbia.
