Buddy Mack III brings veteran depth and special-teams bite to South Carolina
A sixth-year, 6-foot, 214-pound defensive back from Greer, S.C., Buddy Mack III gives South Carolina experienced depth and special-teams value after 51 college games across Pitt and USC. The differentiator is versatility: he’s been trusted as a walk-on contributor, earned South Carolina’s Jim Carlen Special Teams Player of the Spring honor in 2025, and has the kind of steady, physical presence coaches love in the back half of a roster. He’s not a flashy stat-sheet headliner, but he looks like a glue-guy fit for a team that values reliability, toughness, and zero drama.
