Here are a few of the biggest plays from Saturday’s finale to spring practice.
South Carolina and Juice Wells got things started with a big play on the first drive of the game, ripping off a massive catch and run to set up a Trey Knox touchdown.
Wells made a handful of big plays on the night, his first time back at Williams-Brice after coming back and forgoing the NFL Draft.
South Carolina is going to use Wells heavily in year one under Dowell Loggains, a big in this passing attack.
The Gamecocks made their backup quarterbacks live on the night and junior college defensive lineman Elijah Davis took advantage.

He ripped through the line and found a way to get to redshirt freshman quarterback Tanner Bailey. After Bailey was flushed out of the pocket he bounced outside and ran into the passer for his first sack in a South Carolina uniform.

Davis, a four-star prospect, was one of the bigger gets in the 2023 class with the Gamecocks holding off Tennessee to land Davis.
Trey Knox is no stranger to Loggains and South Carolina receivers coach Justin Stepp.

Stepp recruited him to Arkansas and Loggains coached him there before all converged in Columbia this season. Knox came over through the transfer portal and caught a touchdown pass from Spencer Rattler to open the scoring.
A lot was talked about LaNorris Sellers this spring, and he didn’t take long to show why.
Facing a third down, Sellers escaped some pressure and scrambled for a first down and evaded a few defenders in the process.
Sellers also had a great threw on fourth down, connecting with DJ Black for massive to set up a touchdown.
The Sellers big-gainer to Black set up a touchdown from Dante Miller, who hit the line and bounced out of the congestion and into the end zone. That made it just a one-possession game.
