The migration of players from the stacked defensive line to the thinner offensive line continues for the South Carolina football team.

Redshirt freshmen Kenrick Ellis and Terrence Campbell are moving to the offense, and may serve as backup guards as soon as Saturday’s game against South Carolina State.

The moves may not be permanent. But with the guard spots becoming a revolving door, each has a better chance of getting on the field by switching to offense.

Campbell has not played in South Carolina’s first two games. Ellis played at defensive tackle in the opener, but sat out last Saturday’s win against Georgia.

“They’ve got too many guys over there (on the defensive line),” Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier said. “We’ve probably done a poor job of trying to beef up our offensive line. We’ve got too many guys stacked up on the D-line right now.”

Spurrier also said that junior Gurminder Thind, who has backed up at tackle and guard, may start at guard this week. Thind played most of the second half in relief of starter Lemuel Jeanpierre, who moved over from the offensive line last spring.

Kevin Young was due to start at right guard at Georgia before getting hurt. He is still out with a left ankle injury.
