It’s hard to overstate how great of a get this is for the Gamecocks and Shane Beamer. Even though Rattler lost his starting spot to Caleb Williams this season, who is likely going to eventually be a top NFL draft pick, he is still a very good quarterback.

Coming out of high school, Rattler could have played anywhere and prior to getting benched, he put up some gaudy numbers in Norman playing for the Sooners.

Now, he’s headed to the SEC to South Carolina. If he can get back to his old ways, South Carolina could have their most successful season in a very long time.

I know several fans of the Gamecocks and they’re absolutely amped about Rattler joining the team. I think it’s more than fair to say it’s the most excited they’ve been in a very long time.

It will all boil down to whether or not Rattler can successfully hit the reset button. If he can, the Gamecocks could be in for a huge 2022. As a fan of college football, I seriously hope they light it up. It’d be awesome to see.
