Not long after he got a surprise call from South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier on the Dan Patrick Show, Darius Rucker was a part of South Carolina's spring game.
The country singer caught a 22-yard touchdown pass at the beginning of the Gamecocks' spring game on Saturday.

— Gamecock Football (@GamecockFB) April 11, 2015 Anyone else wishing that he was wearing full pads and had a defensive back at least somewhere within five yards? Or are we asking too much?
Rucker admitted after the catch he was nervous. Given how open he was, dropping the pass would have been a bit of an embarrassment.
Last week, Rucker was unprepared for Spurrier's call on the DP Show. He was chatting with Dan when "Stephen from South Carolina" called. The plans weren't hatched on the show, and if they were in place before the phone call, Rucker and Spurrier did a nice job of hiding what was to happen.
