SCarolina’s Chisolm goes from walk-on to starter

  COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina’s Garrett Chisolm had been
out of football for two season back in August. Now he is a starting
offensive lineman in the Southeast Conference.
    The Gamecocks say Chisolm will start at left guard Saturday
against Arkansas. Before trying out for the team this summer,
Chisolm hadn’t played organized football since 2006 with NAIA
member Pikeville College in Kentucky.
    South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier has talked several times
this season about how much he likes the 6-foot-6, 290-pound
junior’s work ethic and attitude. He’s even said he hope Chisolm’s
enthusiasm rubs on off other players.
    As for Chisolm himself, it’s not clear how he feels about his
first start. He has declined media interviews since joining the
team.
