South Carolina adds 2,600 acres to conservation project with 60 miles of riverfront

A 2,600-acre timber property in South Carolina, near the rivers where Revolutionary War commander Francis Marion hid from British forces, has been transferred to the state for conservation. The land forms part of a 7,600-acre project covering more than 60 miles of riverfront, aimed at protecting historic sites, wildlife habitats and floodplains that help reduce flooding.

Vernell Brown III, Florida's wide receiver, is listed as questionable for the upcoming game against South Carolina on October 10. The 5-foot-10, 178-pound Brown missed the September 27 game against Ole Miss due to a knee injury. Since then, he has shown improvement, participating in practice but not fully engaging in the activities.

He ran a bit more on Wednesday, indicating that recovery is progressing. Coach Jon Sumrall expressed optimism about Brown's condition, noting his increased confidence. Football running back and kick returner London Montgomery and safety Bryce Thornton are also listed as questionable for the South Carolina matchup.
