Following the fast start to his college career, expectations have grown through the roof for South Carolina sophomore quarterback Jake Bentley. While he’s only played in seven games thus far in his career, the young signal caller has shown enough promise that many consider him to be the best quarterback in the SEC East heading into his second season on campus.
South Carolina released a new hype video Memorial Day touting the school’s history of quarterback play. Of course, Bentley was featured in the video as the school’s next big thing at the position but the video does a good job of honoring some of the best quarterbacks in school history up to this point.
The video ends by asking who’s next to join them. Will this prove to be a motivator for Bentley to continue his meteoric rise in Columbia?
