Darrell Prater brings proven disruptive juice to the Gamecocks’ front
Darrell Prater is a sturdy, production-backed defensive lineman who grew into a more impactful playmaker at Jacksonville State, finishing his 2025 run with 23 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks after recording 63 tackles and 5.5 sacks across his Gamecocks career. He’s the kind of interior/edge hybrid who can mess up protections, play with leverage at 6-3 and 300 pounds, and give a defense a grown-man presence up front. If you want a lineman with pass-rush pop, experience, and a transfer-market stamp of approval, he’s absolutely worth your attention.
