The steady, veteran Gamecock grinder
Adaway brings veteran stability to South Carolina’s backfield: in the 2025 season, he logged 41 carries for 140 yards and a touchdown, while adding 8 catches for 72 yards through 10 games[13]. He’s a bigger-bodied, reliable downhill runner at 5-11, 219, with a long college résumé and proven ability to contribute as a receiver out of the backfield[1][13]. The big differentiator is trust—he’s been productive across multiple seasons, overcame earlier injury interruptions, and gives a team a low-drama, assignment-sound back who can handle contact and keep the offense on schedule[1][8].
