Markee Anderson returning to South Carolina for 2025 season
It’s official: South Carolina Gamecocks fans will see Markee Anderson suiting up in the Garnet and Black in 2025.
Anderson has signed a name, image, and likeness (NIL) contract with Garnet Trust, it was announced on Wednesday morning.
That means that Shane Beamer will keep one of the team’s up-and-coming offensive linemen in Columbia for his redshirt sophomore season.
