As the South Carolina football team gears up for spring practices, all eyes are on the quarterback position. With a new coaching staff in place, including offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield, there is uncertainty around who will ultimately take the reins under center.
Returning starter Luke Doty showed flashes of potential last season, but will face competition from graduate transfer Jason Brown and incoming freshman Colten Gauthier. Doty, a dual-threat quarterback, will have the advantage of already having game experience in the SEC, but will need to show improvement in his passing game to solidify his role as the starter.
Brown, who comes to South Carolina from FCS school Saint Francis, could make a strong case for the starting job with his experience and leadership qualities. Gauthier, a highly-touted recruit, will also be in the mix and could potentially make a push for playing time.
As the Gamecocks look to rebuild under new head coach Shane Beamer, the quarterback battle will be a key storyline to watch this spring. With several promising options at the position, fans can expect an exciting competition as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
