Nationally, South Carolina has the sixth-most takeaways since 2021. Four of the team’s 2025 takeaways (one interception and three fumble recoveries) went for scores. Taking the ball away in 2026To continue the trend of being one of college football’s best groups of thieves, South Carolina will count on a blend of returners and newcomers. Gamecock EDGE Dylan Stewart posted three official forced fumbles in both 2024 and 2025 (“official” is used here because at least one of 2024’s forced fumbles was credited to another player). Three returning South Carolina defensive backs intercepted multiple passes in 2025.
