Spencer Rattler draft projection: 3 best NFL landing spots for South Carolina’s QB

Spencer Rattler draft profile

The Spencer Rattler story begins in Phoenix, Arizona. He attended Pinnacle High School, where he threw for 11,083 yards (the state high school record) and 116 touchdowns, and rushed for 1,040 yards and 16 touchdowns. However, he generated a minor controversy when he was suspended for a violation of a code of conduct, and ultimately failed to finish his senior season.

Still, he had attracted Division I offers by then, and he chose Oklahoma. By his redshirt freshman season, he was a starter; but a sophomore benching against Texas for Caleb Williams led him to join the transfer portal.

Rattler eventually settled on South Carolina, and in his first season there, he led the Gamecocks to an 8-5 record that included upset defeats of Tennessee and Clemson. He then set career-highs in completions and passing yards in 2023-24.

Based on the footage, Rattler is capable of getting completions even where they should not normally happen, especially when scrambling outside the pocket. He is also an adept rusher, being able to find vast spaces that a defense leaves when attempting a pass rush.
