Deebo Samuel has been a dynamic player for the South Carolina Gamecocks, making an impact as a receiver, a runner and a return man.
However, on Saturday during a makeup game against Akron, Samuel found a new way to get into the end zone.
As you can see in the video below, the Akron punter mishandled a snap, leading to a race to the ball. Needless to say, Samuel won that race, recovering the ball in the end zone for a touchdown:

Here’s an updated count of the way Samuel has scored touchdowns for the Gamecocks:
You expect Deebo to score special teams TDs, but not that.
Career:
15 receiving TDs
7 rushing TDs
4 KO returns TDS
1 fumble return TD https://t.co/bxMcIYWS6L— GoGamecocks (@gogamecocks) December 1, 2018
The Gamecocks are cruising in their regular-season finale, and Samuel is a big reason why. He’ll be tough to replace next year, and Gamecock fans will surely miss him.
