Shane Beamer Speaks to the Media Ahead of Matchup vs Old Dominion
South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer hosts his last press conference before the Gamecocks take on the Monarchs of Old Dominion.
First and foremost, Coach Beamer was asked about injuries heading into this weekend. As we learned last week, the team is relatively healthy outside of two members on the offensive line.
“He’ll be out,” Coach Beamer speaking on Jakai Moore’s availability for Saturday. “He and Aaryn Parks both. That’ll be a week to week thing for now.”
On the other side of the ball, the defensive line rotation has been a key topic for players and coaches this offseason. Specifically talking about the defensive tackle group, Coach Beamer and defensive coordinator Clayton White have a plan for those guys.
“You’re going to see a deeper rotation than what you had last season. We have more depth and we need to play our guys. We know it’s going to be hot Saturday. Play our players and keep them fresh,” Coach Beamer speaks on his defensive tackle group.
Yesterday, the Gamecocks released a preemptive depth chart for this week. But before conclusions are drawn and hot takes are made, Coach Beamer says it’s not set in stone.
“It’s all personnel driven for us in so many ways, as far as certain plays, certain schemes, how the game’s going,” Coach Beamer said about the released depth chart for week one. “There’s guys that aren’t listed on the depth chart that are going to play a lot on Saturday on offense and defense.”
One of those listed as a backup option for the Gamecocks is running back JuJu McDowell. Though an injury hampered his 2023 season, he’s healthy now and looks to provide a nice change of pace to starter Raheim Sanders.
“JuJu’s [McDowell} a guy that we have confidence in,” Coach Beamer said. “He’s a competitor, he brings great spirit to our team. He knows the offense. We can do a lot of things with him.”
Lastly Coach Beamer took the time to shout out the top player of the preseason. Vershon Lee has been a part of the South Carolina program for the last five seasons. He’s been the “glue” for the offensive line since last season.
“We named Vershon Lee the top performer of the preseason camp. You talk about a guy last year that polayed center, guard, tackle, he had to do it all last season because of the injuries we had on the offensive line. He’s doing a good job of leading the offensive line,” Coach Beamer on naming Vershon Lee the top performer of preseason camp.
South Carolina takes on Old Dominion this Saturday at 4:00 pm.

Richard Hricik, South Carolina’s Democratic nominee for attorney general, has officially launched his campaign for November’s general election.
Hricik was unopposed in the primary, automatically advancing to the ballot in November. He will now race against the Republican nominee David Stumbo, who beat Republican challenger Stephen Goldfinch in a runoff on June 23.
Hricik launched his campaign on June 25, just two days after the Republican primary runoff concluded.
In a press release Hricik, a Charleston attorney of more than 25 years, said that his campaign focuses on the fact that the rule of law should protect everyone equally.
“The Rule of Law isn’t red or blue. It has to apply to everyone, and be defended for everyone,” Hricik said. “An Attorney General who treats the law as their own political agenda — who protects some people and not others — threatens our democracy and makes every South Carolinian’s rights less safe. If someone attacks the State House in Columbia, I won’t ask who they voted for; it won’t matter — they are going to prison. That’s the law, and the Attorney General’s job is to defend and uphold The Rule of Law. For everyone.”
Hricik also announced that he has a no-money pledge for his campaign.
“An Attorney General is supposed to answer to two things: You and The Rule of Law. No one and nothing else,” Hricik said. “So, I take no money — not from special interests, not even from myself. That’s not a gimmick. It’s my firewall against corruption and influence. When you owe no one, you can fight for everyone and The Rule of Law.”
There has not been a Democrat in the attorney general office since Thomas Medlock, who left office in 1995.
Stumbo, who is currently serving a fourth term as Solicitor for the Eighth Judicial Circuit of South Carolina, ran his primary campaign on the basis of being a career prosecutor and lifelong Republican.
On runoff election night, Stumbo and his supporters gathered at the City Club of Greenville to watch results come in. In his winning speech that night, Stumbo said that while there hasn’t been a Democratic attorney general in South Carolina in many years, there would still be work ahead.
“We still got a lot of work to do, and I need everyone in this room fighting like crazy for the next few months to make sure that when we’re standing there on election night in November that we are officially the next attorney g eneral of South Carolina,” Stumbo said.
