South Carolina football released its official depth chart for Florida week on Monday but there were no changes from what was released two weeks ago prior to the Tennessee matchup.

Mario Anderson and Dakereon Joyner are again listed as co-starters at running back, just as they were two weeks ago, but it’s Anderson who made his first career start as a Gamecock against the Vols.

Senior Jakai Moore and freshman Trovon Baugh are once again listed as co-starters at right guard with senior Tyshawn Wannamaker and transfer Sidney Fugar listed as co-starters at right tackle.

Moore has been dealing with a shoulder injury but was rotating snaps with Baugh even before that. Moore missed the Tennessee game and Baugh made his first career college start.

Wannamaker played every snap at right tackle against Tennessee but Shane Beamer mentioned after the game that Fugar could get another look there.

The Gamecocks continue to list Keenan Nelson Jr. as the starter at nickelback, though he hasn’t started the last three games after starting the first two and getting dinged up against Furman.

DQ Smith, listed as a starter at safety, played the nickel against Georgia and Mississippi State, while Nick Emmanwori, also listed as a starting safety, slid to nickelback against Tennessee.

Freshman Jalon Kilgore is listed as a backup safety but has started the last four games and played in all five.

Beamer hinted during the SEC teleconference last week that there could be some tweaks going into this week’s game.

“You look at personnel, are there some guys that maybe haven’t been playing that can help us?” Beamer said, in part. “This is a week to get them opportunities to see what they can do. Are there guys that have been playing that maybe would be better suited to play somewhere different at that position? Those are things you look at and really just get back to work.

“I would say there’s been a lot of things in all three phases, so I’ll wait until after the Florida game to talk more specifically about those things, but certainly feel like we’ve gotten better as a team during these three days and really appreciate the effort and energy that our players have practiced with the last three days. They’ve been fantastic and have a great eagerness and desire to improve.”
