Michael Pettway - Held out Saturday Pettway (undisclosed) was held out of Saturday's game against Liberty.

Impact Pettway was previously seen warming up with the team ahead of Saturday's contest, so his absence comes as a bit of a surprise. The 5-foot-10 receiver also previously missed the team's season opener due to an undisclosed injury. His next chance to return will come against Georgia Southern on Saturday.

Caleb Coombs - Nets 24 yards Coombs caught two passes for 24 yards against Liberty on Saturday.

Impact Coombs is worth noting because he was the only Gamecock with more than one reception. Jacksonville State went run-heavy, the offensive style that worked under Rich Rodriguez in the past. It will be hard for any receiver, Coombs included to pop in 2025.

Andrew Paul - Scores another TD Paul ran the ball eight times for 67 yards and a touchdown against Liberty on Saturday.

Impact The only thing standing in Paul's way is that Cam Cook is clearly the top guy in this offense. He's averaged 7.1 yards per carry and scored twice. However, he's also only gotten 13 carries, and that limits his upside.
