  EXCLUSIVE: Shane Beamer Opens Up About the 2026 Gamecocks

  Aug 17, 202628 min

  South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer joins Chris Marler on Locked On Gamecocks for an exclusive interview ahead of the 2026 college football season. After a disappointing 4-8 season in 2025, Beamer explains why he believes the South Carolina Gamecocks are positioned for a major bounce-back season. He takes us behind the scenes of USC’s aggressive offseason, including coaching staff changes, roster retention, transfer portal additions and a recruiting class that stayed together despite last season’s struggles. Beamer also explains why this 2026 South Carolina roster reminds him of the 2024 Gamecocks, particularly when it comes to veteran leadership and experience. He breaks down where this year's team may actually be further ahead, including quarterback, running back and potentially the depth of the defensive tackle room. Then we get into the biggest question surrounding South Carolina football: How good can LaNorris Sellers be? Beamer says he doesn't believe there is a ceiling for his star quarterback and explains why Year 3 as the starter — combined with Kendal Briles' new offense — could produce the best version of Sellers yet. Beamer also discusses several Gamecocks who aren't getting enough attention, including Brady Hunt and Judge Collier, why he's so excited about South Carolina's linebackers, and what has changed offensively under Briles. He even explains some of the connections between Briles' system and Lane Kiffin's offense. We also dive into South Carolina's recent recruiting success, the impact of Darren Usher, the importance of relationships and why the Gamecocks have been able to retain key players in the transfer portal era. And finally, we get away from football with a rapid-fire round featuring Beamer's Chick-fil-A order, bucket-list concert venue, alternate career choice, favorite Bible verse and his best wedding advice for Chris. Topics discussed: South Carolina football, Shane Beamer interview, LaNorris Sellers, Kendal Briles offense, Gamecocks 2026 season, South Carolina recruiting, transfer portal, Dylan Stewart, Nick Harbor, USC linebackers, South Carolina depth chart, SEC football and more.

  South Carolina Scrimmage PREVIEW: Who’s About to BREAK OUT?

  Aug 14, 202623 min

  South Carolina football is ready for its first scrimmage of 2026 fall camp, and Saturday could give Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks their first real answers about a roster carrying plenty of expectations into the season. On today’s Locked On Gamecocks, we preview the first major test of fall camp and break down the three biggest questions South Carolina needs answered when the offense and defense finally go live. Can the red-zone offense finish drives? With Kendal Briles taking over the offense, moving the football is only part of the equation. What happens when the field shrinks? We look at what needs to improve inside the 20 and which players could become South Carolina's go-to weapons near the goal line. Who wins the turnover battle? Protecting the football — and creating takeaways defensively — will be one of the biggest areas to watch Saturday. Which quarterbacks and skill players take care of the ball, and can Clayton White's defense create the game-changing plays South Carolina will need in SEC play? Can South Carolina solve its special teams questions? The Gamecocks entered camp with competition at kicker and plenty to establish under new special teams coordinator Matthew Smiley. Saturday's scrimmage could be one of the first opportunities for someone to separate himself. Plus, we identify three Gamecocks who are officially "on the clock" entering the scrimmage. With position battles heating up and the season getting closer, this is the point in camp where opportunities start turning into depth-chart decisions. Who needs a big Saturday? Which position battle are you watching closest? And what would make the first scrimmage a success for Shane Beamer and South Carolina?

  SEC SQUAD - Fall Camp UPDATES | What's the LATEST with South Carolina?

  Aug 13, 202633 min

  SEC football is just three weeks away—is this the year new quarterback battles shake up the power rankings? The SEC Squad panel breaks down the hottest storylines from fall camp, including Ole Miss’s right tackle competition, South Carolina’s emerging freshmen, and Vanderbilt’s complex quarterback race between Jared Curtis and Blaze Berlowitz. The debate heats up over Alabama's QB decision between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, and Tennessee’s Faizon Brandon’s NIL spotlight raises big questions about his impending role. Plus, the squad ranks the SEC’s top quarterbacks for 2026: does Trinidad Chambliss outshine Arch Manning as the best in the nation? The team also reacts to Georgia’s promise of a wide-open offense under Mike Bobo, and discusses why Netflix’s SEC docuseries didn’t return. Can these high-stakes changes push SEC programs to new heights, or are growing pains ahead? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
