South Carolina’s clutch 2002 Gamecocks kicker, not the 2026 roster name to watch
Daniel Weaver is best known as the South Carolina kicker who drilled the walk-off 42-yard field goal to beat Ohio State in the 2002 Outback Bowl, a huge-pressure moment that says a lot about his nerve and touch. For a current South Carolina roster fit in 2026, though, this name appears to point to an alumnus rather than an active Gamecock kicker, so he is not the right candidate if you’re evaluating today’s special-teams depth chart.
