former walk-on who turned steady, mobile Gamecock QB
Orth’s South Carolina profile is built on grit more than glamour: a former walk-on who earned a scholarship, he started 11 games and finished his Gamecock career with 2,595 passing yards, 12 passing touchdowns, and two rushing scores. In the 2015 season, he posted 1,929 passing yards and 12 TDs, while adding 138 rushing yards and two TDs, showing enough dual-threat juice to keep defenses honest. His calling cards were toughness, poise, and competitiveness, though his production was more solid than spectacular. If you value a battle-tested, high-effort quarterback who can manage a game, he fits the bill.
