WATCH: SEC Network chronicles Deebo Samuel path back to the field at South Carolina
South Carolina is a completely different team with Deebo Samuel in the lineup. That type of hyperbole is often said about many players but it’s actually true about the Gamecock receiver.
When he’s not catching touchdowns for South Carolina, he finished tied for second-most TD grabs despite playing in only three full games last season, he’s returning kicks to the house, his two kick return scores last season were the only ones registered by the Gamecocks on the year.
