Blake Franks’ journey to South Carolina football is deeper than the game.

From growing up in Greenville, SC… to stepping away from football… to coming back and chasing something bigger — this is a story about resilience, family, and purpose.

After losing his father, Blake opens up from 1801 Media Days about the mental battles, the motivation behind his grind, and why he believes South Carolina can win it all this season.
