Three South Carolina football freshmen suspended from the team

Three South Carolina football players — Monteque Rhames, Anthony Rose, and Cameron Upshaw — have been suspended from the team, the school announced Friday afternoon. “Our student-athletes know what is expected of them,” coach Shane Beamer said through a statement. “They know that both the University and the football program will hold them accountable for their actions and decisions.”

USC didn’t provide details as to why those players were suspended, but Richland County jail records show that one was arrested overnight.

Rhames, a freshman defensive end who moved on campus last month, was arrested on charges of “carrying weapons on school property” and obstructing justice, according to Richland County online court records. The records show that Rhames was booked at midnight.

An incident report provided Friday by USC showed that campus police responded to a “housing complaint” at the 650 Lincoln dorms at 9:20 p.m. Jan. 25. The incident report references a “weapon law violations,” with a rifle listed as the weapon.

The report lists Rhames, Rose and a juvenile as suspects in the alleged incident — but there are no mentions of charges or arrests. Rhames, a four-star recruit in the 2023 class who signed with the Gamecocks in December, was still in jail as of Friday afternoon, according to the Richland County online records. No attorney was listed for him.

Rhames’ first court appearance is scheduled for March 31, according to Richland County online court records. A personal recognizance bond was set at $10,000, according to the records. The Sumter product was rated the No. 385 player and No. 35 edge rusher in the class of 2023, per the 247Sports Composite. He was also slotted as the No. 5 player in South Carolina.

Rhames and Upshaw were among the new signees who enrolled at South Carolina in time for the spring semester. Rose enrolled at USC in January 2022, did not see action in any game this past season and redshirted.

Judge should have seen that he was from Sumter and cut him a break. The boy isn’t used to being able to walk around without having to go strapped.

So how many stars just fell?

Exactly. He was probably hunting Parr all last week and just hasn't been home to put his hunting shit back up...

If that was at the Upstate School, the cop would have been reprimanded and the shower curtain…I mean gun….would have been hidden in the lake

Yep, 2025 will be #2 in the next streak.

Yep. #2 is less than a year away, and #3 following that.

I'm sure if the scouting report was posted on Tigernet the name would ring a bell.

What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? Perhaps he was carrying for self defense.

I think the intent matters. Someone mentioned it, but what if he had recently been hunting? Should he get a pass?

If he indeed had thuggish intentions or was about to out gang banging then that's another story. Either way, let's get the rest of said story before we go condemning him.

I swear half the guys in my dorm at PC had a gun of some sort, either in their room or in their vehicle. I walked past professors in the parking lot carrying a shotgun in a case with no eyebrows raised. That was the late 80's though.
