COLUMBIA, S.C. — The SEC's leading rusher from last season has not yet been cleared to take part in practice which kicks off Friday.

Kevin Harris had a minor back procedure and has not been cleared for the start of preseason camp according to head coach Shane Beamer.

Harris, who should be ready for the season opener, was in head trainer Clint Haggard’s office this week begging to be cleared for Friday’s practice according to Beamer.

Cornerback Cam Smith, a projected starter and Westwood High School product, aggravated his foot about a week ago and had a minor procedure. He will be out as practice starts but is expected to be ready for Sept. 4.
