South Carolina star Dylan Stewart returns to practice; status TBD

South Carolina Gamecocks defensive standout Dylan Stewart made his first return to team practice following a suspension stemming from an on-field altercation during the Gamecocks’ Week 4 loss to Alabama. The incident occurred after Stewart, a key pass rusher for the struggling program, threw a punch at an Alabama player following a Crimson Tide touchdown in a game that ultimately ended in a lopsided defeat.

With South Carolina’s season in disarray—including a second consecutive double-digit lead collapse—head coach Shane Beamer faces mounting pressure as the Gamecocks prepare for a critical SEC showdown against Florida this weekend. The team’s recent struggles, compounded by off-field concerns, have raised questions about both Stewart’s availability and Beamer’s long-term future amid a pivotal season for quarterback LaNorris Sellers.
