Ricardo Hurley brings SEC size and steady linebacker production to South Carolina
Hurley is a classic inside linebacker with the frame to handle the middle at 6-3, 235, and his stat line shows real impact: 71 solo tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles in his college career.[1][3] He stands out more for physicality, range, and downhill toughness than for splashy ball production, which makes him a solid fit for a team needing an active, reliable presence between the tackles.[1][3] As a Greenwood, S.C. product who stayed home for South Carolina, he also brings local-rooted toughness and familiarity with the program’s culture.[1][3]
