He led South Carolina to its first NCAA playoff birth in 1979, but injured his back midway through the 1980 season and played in only 10 of the Gamecocks' 19 games.

"He has unlimited physical potential as a modern soccer defender." 1980 VIRGINIA Women's Amateur golf champion Kandoi Kessler has verbally committed to attend USC on an athletic scholarship.
