Final availability report before South Carolina takes on Alabama
South Carolina is set to take on No. 7 Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday. Kickoff is at noon on ABC. Before kickoff, both teams have released their final availability reports.
The Gamecocks will be without five players who have been ruled “out” for this game. Most notably, wide receiver Jared Brown will not play against the Crimson Tide. This will be the second time this season Brown has missed a game with an injury, the other being the Akron game in Week 4.
Others who won’t play for South Carolina include defensive backs Jalewis Solomon and Kelvin Hunter. Defensive tackle DeAndre Jules, who exited the Ole Miss game early last weekend, is out for this week. Lastly, Jakai Moore, who hasn’t played at all so far this season, is out again on Saturday.
As for Alabama, linebacker Yhonzae Pierre is the only player listed as out for the Tide. Wide receivers Kendrick Law and Kobe Prentice were both listed as questionable as of Friday night, but now Prentice is listed as “out” and Law will be a “game time decision.”

The SEC recently approved a player availability injury report system for football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball.
SEC school personnel must submit availability reports three days before each football game, with daily updates leading to a final report 90 minutes before game time. For basketball and baseball, reports are filed the night before, with an update on game day.
According to the SEC, penalties for inaccurate or late reports will range from $25,000 to $100,000 for football and anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 for basketball and baseball.
When schools submit injury reports, players will be designated as available, probable, doubtful, and questionable before game day. On game day, designations will be available, game-time decision or out. The model follows injury reports similar to the NFL.
