South Carolina fans boo Ole Miss WR Juice Wells as he returns to Williams-Brice Stadium

South Carolina fans have been open about the fact that they are not pleased that former receiver Juice Wells transferred to Ole Miss this past offseason. Wells spent two seasons at James Madison and two seasons at South Carolina, before leaving to play for the Rebels for 2024.

Wells and Ole Miss have arrived at Williams-Brice Stadium and it’s no surprise that he was greeted with plenty of boos.

While South Carolina fans greeted Juice Wells with boos, as you can see there are some Rebels fans in Columbia, and they started a “Juice” … “Wells” chant as he walked into the stadium.

The Gamecocks and Rebels will face off at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. You can bet that emotions will be high for Wells, as well as South Carolina defenders who are going up against a former teammate.

Shane Beamer addresses facing Juice Wells as Ole Miss player, need for focus

Wells made plenty of plays in the past at Williams-Brice Stadium for the home team, but will now look to do so for the opposition.

Gamecocks coach Shane Beamer was asked about balancing the emotions of having a former teammates return in his Tuesday press conference. He didn’t seem to hype it up too much, saying South Carolina has to treat it like any other game.

“I think that’s every game,” he said. “You want to make sure you play with great poise. They’ve got a good football team and I know we’re gonna get the best version of Ole Miss. What we’re focusing on is that they get the best version of South Carolina. They’ve got a lot of really good players on offense.

“Juice is a good player, but when you sit there and watch (Tre Harris), they threw him the ball 15 times Saturday. So we better be not caught up in one player. We better be aware of him. Then we better know what a weapon the tight end is. The slot receiver, Cayden Lee, we recruited the heck out of him and he had a lot of targets on Saturday. The running back had a lot of targets in the passing game. So for us, it’ll just be they have a lot of really good players that we have to prepare for.”
