Trace Gaynes is flashing playmaking juice in Wofford’s secondary
In the 2026 season, Trace Gaynes enters his sophomore year at Wofford as a 5-foot-11, 170-pound defensive back who has already shown ball skills, with the Terriers crediting him with interceptions in spring practices and keeping him in the mix as an active contributor. He looks like a confident, instinctive DB who can trigger on the ball and make plays in space; the bigger question is consistency and whether his lighter frame holds up against physical FCS receivers. If your team wants a rangy, opportunistic defensive back with upside, he’s worth a close look.
