In a year where South Carolina will likely need to lean on defense a bit more, five-star freshman Dylan Stewart needs to be an immediate impact.
Shane Beamer faces a pivotal 2024 season. He needs to improve on his 5-7 2023 season. With key offensive players, including now-NFL quarterback Spencer Rattler, departing, Beamer turns to redshirt freshman Jayden Sellers as the starting quarterback. Sellers, showcasing dual-threat capabilities, will need time to adapt to the fast-paced SEC defenses. Beamer must compensate for potential offensive struggles by bolstering the defense to create chaos and shift momentum in critical moments.
Stewart’s high school statistics shine. As a senior, he recorded 76 tackles, 24 for a loss, and 12 sacks. His junior year he boasted 16 sacks, cementing his reputation as a relentless pass rusher. He helped lead his school to back-to-back DCSAA Class AA titles and is a proven winner. During South Carolina’s spring game, Stewart made an immediate impact with three tackles for loss, proving his readiness to compete in the SEC from game one.
Beamer’s strategy to use Stewart’s versatility plays a crucial role. The coaching staff will find favorable matchups for Stewart to exploit weaknesses. His physical attributes and high football IQ allow him to play anywhere along the front seven, adding unpredictability to the Gamecocks’ defensive schemes.
