LUKE DOTY NEWS

Still dealing with soreness Head coach Shane Beamer said Thursday that Doty (foot) is still "a little sore" and remains questionable for Saturday's game against East Carolina, Ben Portnoy of The State reports...

Impact Beamer's update doesn't change Doty's status much, as it seems like the Gamecocks are still unsure if the quarterback will be ready to play come Saturday. The sophomore has participated in practice this week, but Beamer has said that he wants to make sure the signal caller is fully healthy before putting him in a live game. Doty is listed as the co-starter, and he figures to see substantial playing time against the Pirates if he's given the green light from the medical staff.

Going to be close come Saturday Head coach Marcus Satterfield said that Doty (foot) is "definitely going to be close" to ready on Saturday against East Carolina, Augusta Stone of The State reports.

Impact Doty did not play in the opener against Eastern Illinois despite being in uniform. He said earlier in the week that he is hoping to return to full strength by Saturday, and it seems to be trending in that direction. Doty is labeled as a co-starter, but if he is ready then he will be the one trotting out on the field to begin the opening drive.

Labeled co-starter for Week 2 Doty (foot) is on the depth chart as a co-starter for Saturday's contest versus East Carolina, Cory Diaz of The Greenville News reports.

Impact Doty went through a limited practice Sunday and his presence on the two-deep would seem to suggest he has a chance to rejoin the action this week after sitting out the opener. Zeb Noland tossed four touchdown passes against Eastern Illinois but wasn't expected to even be part of the quarterback room in 2021 prior to Doty's injury, so there should be little question who is under center as long as Doty is healthy.

Limited in practice Doty (foot) was limited in Sunday's practice, David Cloninger of The Charleston Post and Courier reports.

Impact Doty didn't appear in Saturday's win over Eastern Illinois but was in uniform during the contest. However, coach Shane Beamer said Sunday that he expects Doty to be available for Saturday's matchup against East Carolina. It's not yet clear what role the sophomore will play since Beamer said he won't name a starting quarterback ahead of the game.

Nearing full strength Doty (foot) is expected to return to 100 percent by the end of the week, David Cloninger of The Charleston Post and Courier reports.

Impact Doty was in uniform for Saturday's game against Eastern Illinois but didn't appear in the blowout win. Although he was doubtful for Saturday's season opener, he'll likely have a chance to return next week against East Carolina and could compete for a starting role.

In uniform ahead of game Doty (foot) is in uniform ahead of Saturday's game against Eastern Illinois, Ben Portnoy of The State reports.

Impact Doty was initially listed as doubtful for Saturday's matchup, but it appears as though he could be available. It's not yet clear whether he'll see much game action, but his presence in uniform during pregame warmups certainly bodes well for his future status. Zeb Noland will likely start at quarterback Saturday.

Doubtful for opener Doty ran during Thursday's practice but is doubtful for Saturday's season opener against Eastern Illinois,Ben Portnoy of The State reports.

Impact Doty's potential availability to begin the season isn't looking great but head coach Shane Beamer mentioned that he expects his sophomore quarterback to be ready next week against East Carolina. Zeb Noland was named the Week 1 starter with Doty out but that could certainly change if the South Carolina native is ready to return against the Pirates.

Impact South Carolina will roll with graduate assistant-turned-starter Zeb Noland at quarterback. Doty shed the cast on his foot recently but is still not ready to play and is off the depth chart. Once healthy, Doty has a good chance at taking back over at quarterback, but that won't be until at least Week 2 against East Carolina.

Impact Doty sprained his foot in practice earlier this week but his outlook appears to be a lot brighter than it was when the injury occurred. It seems the true sophomore could be getting in first-team reps as soon as next week which should give him enough time to get more comfortable ahead of the opener against Eastern Illinois on Sept. 4.

Has a mid-foot sprain Doty is dealing with a mid-foot sprain and is hoping to be ready for Week 1, David Cloninger of The Charleston Post and Courier reports.

Impact Doty is trying not to rush the process to ensure he doesn't suffer any setbacks in recover. Doty will be using a scooter for the next few days and then be full-go in his rehab process. It's too early to tell at this point whether or not that foot will be ready for Sept. 4 against Eastern Illinois, but we should further information over the coming weeks.

Suffers sprained foot Doty sprained his foot in practice but is still expected to be healthy for Week 1 against Eastern Illinois, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Impact It was originally believed that Doty was dealing with a more serious injury but the fact that head coach Shane Beamer believes he can still suit up in the team's first game is a positive sign. The sophomore shot-caller completed 60.6 percent of his passes for 405 yards last season. If he's unable to play to begin the season, it appears that true freshman Colten Gauthier would be next in line followed by FCS transfer Jason Brown.
