COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — Richland Northeast High grad TJ Brunson had a career-game Saturday against NC State.

Brunson led USC with 16 total tackles–7 solo, 9 assisted–more than any other game in his collegiate career.

With the Gamecocks now facing the top-ranked offense in college football, Missouri, Saturday, USC will need Brunson to have another stellar outing.
