Gamecock reserve Dylan Thompson shared snaps with Shaw for much of 2012, and has been an integral part of South Carolina’s preparation through the early phases of 2013. He entered with South Carolina trailing the upset-minded Knights, 7-0.

The ABC broadcast reported Shaw will not return, suffering from South Carolina trainers deemed a shoulder strain.
