Big Frame, Small Sample, Depth-Chart Watch
Eriq Rice is a 6-2, 201-pound redshirt senior wideout for South Carolina whose appeal is more about traits than production: the Gamecocks list him as a depth piece with length, size and ball skills, and he has logged 3 catches for 35 yards in his South Carolina career, all in 2024. He’s a former Columbia A.C. Flora standout, a regular academic honor-roll name, and the kind of steady, walk-on grinder coaches like to keep around. If you need a polished possession receiver with developmental upside and no drama, he’s a fit; if you need proven volume, the box score says “not yet.”
