Bruce Ellington - WR - Gamecocks

South Carolina sophomore WR Bruce Ellington is still unsure about his football future and may solely focus on basketball.

This is nothing new for Ellington, and in fact is the standard answer at this time of the year. The sophomore is the team's leading receiver, but was very close to only concentrating on basketball last March. Perhaps the future NFL success of cousin, and Clemson running back, Andre Ellington will impact Bruce's future decision.

Bruce Ellington - WR - Gamecocks

One week after declaring he would focus solely on basketball, Bruce Ellington is apparently not ready to give up on football.

Ellington, who is listed on the Gamecocks’ spring roster, is also a guard on the hoops team. The junior-to-be played football last season after taking to the hardwood only as a freshman. A valuable performer on special teams and on offense, Ellington averaged 23.1 yards on 20 kick returns. He was also 17-211-1 receiving and 17-106-1 rushing and even completed 3-of-4 passes for 27 yards. It added up to 780 all-purpose yards on only 54 touches.

Bruce Ellington - WR - Gamecocks

'Tis the season of juggling sports for South Carolina’s Bruce Ellington.

South Carolina receiver Bruce Ellington will wedge the Gamecocks’ Capital One Bowl date with Nebraska between basketball games against Wofford and South Carolina State. The sophomore has certainly shown his versatility on the gridiron. Ellington is 17-211-1 receiving, 17-106-1 rushing and he is averaging 21.6 yards on 18 kick returns. He has even completed three passes for 27 yards.

Bruce Ellington - WR - Gamecocks

South Carolina running back Bruce Ellington is questionable for Saturday’s game against Tennessee after tweaking his hamstring.

Just what coach Steve Spurrier needs. With Marcus Lattimore out for the season, the Gamecocks were set to utilize the versatile Ellington in various ways. He can line up in the wildcat, as a receiver or in the back field in conventional sets. Ellington also returns kicks.

Bruce Ellington - WR - Gamecocks

With Marcus Lattimore out for the season, Bruce Ellington will become more a part of the South Carolina offense.

The starting point guard for the Gamecocks’ hoops team has been a backup receiver (12 rec.) and kick returner. Given his versatility, coach Steve Spurrier wants to get the ball into Ellington’s hands with Marcus Lattimore out for the season. That would likely translate to more wildcat formations with which Ellington has been utilized. The bottom line, without Lattimore the Gamecocks need to tinker.
