South Carolina Gamecocks Need This Player to Be an X-Factor For Success

The South Carolina Gamecocks need this player to be an x-factor in order to have success.

The South Carolina Gamecocks are setting up to have a successful season this year with LaNorris Sellers leading the charge at quarterback. However, there is a different player on offense that the Gamecocks need to be an X-factor in order for them to be successful this season.

This isn't to say it's the only player they need to play well this year. Sellers needs to show improvements, the offensive line needs to play better as a unit, and the run game has to remain consistent without Raheim Sanders. With that said though, Nyck Harbor needs to be the difference maker for the Gamecocks this year.

Harbor showed flashes last season of what many thought he was capable of. However, Gamecock fans still haven't seen what an entire season of Harbor could be and they haven't seen him as the number one wide receiver like he will be this season.

South Carolina still has some other names in the wide receiver room that they can lean on, but Harbor can be special on offense. If he can set up explosive plays and be the x-factor for South Carolina on offense, along with Sellers doing what he did last season, then the Gamecocks will be in good shape this season.

It should be noted that Harbor was at one point both a track and football star but has now elected to focus on football, which will likely help his production.
