South Carolina is almost ready to begin fall camp and by the looks of it, so is their talented freshman edge rusher.

Dylan Stewart comes into the year with a lot of expectations. The 6-foot-5 former five star has been working hard since arriving early in January and participating in spring and summer workouts.

In a post via his Twitter account, Stewart shared a photo of his progression before entering South Carolina and where he is now. The 250 pound defender has grown a lot in a SEC strength and conditioning program. The added development in the weight room should help him during his first year in the SEC.

With a new QB and weapons around him, the Gamecocks are expected to be a defensive led team to this year. If they plan on bouncing back from a 5-7 season in 2023, Stewart will be counted on to live up to his expectations. If he's able to do so, the defense could go from good to great in 2024.
