South Carolina Gamecock Dante Reno was ranked as a top 25 freshman quarterback in college football by expert.
The South Carolina Gamecocks will have some changes on offense this season with quarterback Spencer Rattler now in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints. He was a key factor in the Gamecock’s success in 2023, but now they will have to search for answers elsewhere. LaNorris Sellers has already been tabbed as the likely starter for the 2024 season, but they have another option in the room who could play a big role in the future.
College football expert Phil Steele released his rankings for the top 25 freshmen quarterbacks leading into the 2024 season and South Carolina’s Dante Reno came in at 25th on the list. Reno was a three-star prospect, a borderline top 500 player and a 33rd-ranked quarterback in the 2024 class, according to 247 sports composite rankings.
The poise and accuracy Dante consistently displays on the field should also be noted, especially when the pocket collapses around him. The 5th best player in Connecticut finished his senior season throwing for 2358 yards (64% completion rate) and 20 TD, averaging 262 passing yards per game. Reno, who played for Cheshire Academy High School, finished his senior year as an Under Armour All-American and made it to the Elite 11 finals.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Though gas prices in Georgia and South Carolina have risen ahead of Independence Day, GasBuddy predicts the lowest holiday price since 2021.
These are the prices for some of our counties a day before the holiday, according to AAA:
In the Augusta-Aiken area, gas was priced at $3.32 per gallon. That’s 10 cents higher than a year ago.
In the Aiken-Edgefield area, the price per gallon averaged $3.24 – seven cents higher than last year.
According to GasBuddy’s annual summer travel survey, 45% of Americans plan to head on the road over Independence Day weekend.
Drivers this Independence Day weekend might feel a little bit more patriotic when they head to the gas station. The national average price of gasoline on July 4 is expected to be $3.49 per gallon, the lowest holiday price since 2021, GasBuddy states.
As of Wednesday, the national average price still sits at $3.51 per gallon.
To save money on gas, drivers should shop around for the best prices, especially when crossing state lines, using a tool like the GasBuddy app. Road trippers can also sign up for the free Pay with GasBuddy card to save up to 25 cents per gallon on every fill-up.
