South Carolina Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp discussed the teams quarterbacks during the National Signing Day press conference on Wednesday.

Two new players were added to the position last month: 4-star Luke Doty and Colorado State graduate transfer Collin Hill.

Luke Doty has been outstanding, Muschamp said, as he updated the progress on some of the teams midyear enrollees.

Hill, who suffered a torn ACL during his final season with the Rams, continues to recover from the injury, which will keep him sidelined during spring practice. Day 1 of spring ball is scheduled for Feb. 26.

Collin is still rehabbing the knee and they think he is ahead of where he should be, as far as his strength is concerned, as far as his quad is concerned, Muschamp said. Thats the biggest thing, is strength levels, and they think hes ahead of where hes supposed to be. Hes working extremely hard to rehab the knee.

Muschamp added, I dont think Collin is going to take any snaps during the spring, based on what Ive been told. Ive been told he will not be fully cleared until June, possibly May Im trying to get my months (properly counted). He wont take any snaps this spring.

When asked about the quarterbacks picking up the system thats being installed by first-year offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, Muschamp referred to four players.

I think, as much as anything, theres going to be some new terminology, Muschamp said. Collins familiar with (it) and Ryan (Hilinski) and Luke and Jay (Urich) are not, at this point, but they will be. Those guys are working extra on their own every single day to come up here and learn, so when we do start with the coaches, theyve got a pretty good grasp of what were trying to do.

Weve got an outstanding group, as far as work ethic is concerned and intelligence is concerned and maturity is concerned. Those guys will be ready to go. Certainly, having Collins experience, can do nothing but help.

But Mikes also got a lot of experience in coaching young quarterbacks, so he can understand what a guy can handle, what he cant handle and what we feel like we can do on the field and what we cant do. I think that his experience will certainly help us with that.

Hill began last season as Colorado States starter, before he was injured in the third game. He finished his final season there with 840 yards and eight touchdowns. He completed 69 of 102 throws and had two interceptions.

Hilinski is South Carolinas returning starter. As a freshman in 2019, he completed 236 of 406 passes for 2,357 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Doty, a 4-star recruit, was trying to lead Myrtle Beach (S.C.) High School to a second-straight 4A state title before his senior season ended prematurely with a thumb injury.

Urich played some at quarterback last season for the Gamecocks, but he also saw time at wide receiver.

Redshirt sophomore Dakereon Joyner also split time between the positions. Joyner, however, was not mentioned by Muschamp on Wednesday, during his comments about the quarterbacks.

The belief is that Joyner will be among the returning skill players for Bobo to utilize during his first season with the South Carolina Gamecocks.
