South Carolina Gamecocks football: Dylan Stewart suspended
The State • • sports
Key Points:
- South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer suspended edge rusher Dylan Stewart indefinitely following multiple incidents during the Gamecocks’ 49-18 loss to Alabama, including a roughing-the-passer penalty, a physical altercation with an Alabama player, and a confrontation with teammates and coaches.
- Stewart will miss this week's game against Kentucky, with Beamer emphasizing that Stewart's behavior did not meet the program's standards and that further decisions about his future will be made soon.
- During the game, Stewart engaged in heated exchanges with Beamer on the sideline and refused to leave the field when substituted late in the game, requiring staff intervention.
- Stewart, a highly regarded junior who missed early season games due to injury, played 29 snaps against Alabama despite recent soreness, and his suspension raises questions about his standing with NFL scouts ahead of the 2027 draft.
