Hamstring injury delays Gamecocks' Wilson’s move to the weak-side position vacated by Norwood

South Carolina linebacker Shaq Wilson, tweaked his hamstring and spent the first two weeks of preseason drills on the Gamecocks’ mellow yellow squad; the color of the jerseys given to the Gamecocks’ injured players. "I just want to get out here and have fun" Wilson said. "It’s no fun watching." Wilson returned to practice this week and is expected to play in the Gamecocks’ scrimmage tonight at Williams-Brice Stadium. The session is closed to the public. Fans are eager to see how Wilson compares to the player whose name adorns the southwest corner of Williams-Brice Stadium as the school’s all-time leader in sacks and tackles for loss. Wilson is getting used to the scrutiny. He was one of three USC players who represented the team at SEC Media Days last month in Alabama. Norwood’s name came up once or twice. "I got a lot of Norwood questions. But I kind of expected that," Wilson said."“Norwood’s a great player, so that’s a lot to live up to." Although, Wilson finished with more tackles (85) than Norwood (81) and everyone else on the USC defense, last season when he and Norwood played side by side. But with Wilson shifting from middle linebacker to Norwood’s former ‘Will,’ or weak-side position, the comparisons are inevitable. "I'm going to do my job to the best of my abilities, just stay healthy, go out there and do whatever I can to help the team win," Wilson said. "That’s what Norwood did. Norwood gave 110 percent every time. He made plays. He was just a great person to be around. He made people around him better."
