Dec. 21, 2022

South Carolina quarterback Luke Doty
is ready to play when the team plays in the Gator Bowl on Dec. 30, though, Doty will have another shot at game action in 2022. The NCAA announced that this season’s postseason games won’t count against players who reached the four-game redshirt limit. The rule only applies to this year’s postseason and is intended to help teams impacted by injuries, the transfer portal, and opt-outs. Doty has played four games for South Carolina this season, with appearances against Georgia State, Georgia, Charlotte, and S.C. State. The NCAA’s new rule would allow him to play in the Gator Bowl and maintain his redshirt status.
