South Carolina Gamecock Dante Reno Ranked Top 25 Freshman Quarterback

South Carolina Gamecock Dante Reno was ranked by experts as one of the top 25 freshman quarterbacks in college football.

The South Carolina Gamecocks will see some changes on offense this season, with quarterback Spencer Rattler now in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints. He was a key factor in the Gamecock’s success in 2023, but now they’ll have to look elsewhere for answers. LaNorris Sellers has already been tabbed as the likely starter for the 2024 season, but they have another option in the room who could play a big role going forward.

College football expert Phil Steele released his rankings of the 25 best freshman quarterbacks heading into the 2024 season, and South Carolina’s Dante Reno came in at No. 25. Reno was a three-star prospect, a borderline Top 500 player and the 33rd-ranked quarterback in the Class of 2024, according to 247 composite sports rankings.

The composure and accuracy that Dante consistently displays on the field should also be noted, especially when the pocket collapses around him. The 5th best player in Connecticut finished his senior year with 2,358 yards (64% completion percentage) and 20 TDs, while averaging 262 passing yards per game. Reno, who played for Cheshire Academy High School, finished his senior year as an Under Armour All-American and made the Elite 11 finals.
