On Saturday, the South Carolina Gamecocks hosted the Ole Miss Rebels at home. South Carolina would lose 27-3, but a celebration from edge rusher Dylan Stewart after sacking quarterback Jaxson Dart had everyone’s attention
Of course, defenders celebrating a great play like a sack is normal, but Stewart took things just a little too far. When getting up after recording a sack, cameras panned to him when he pretended to have a gun in his hands and shot Dart multiple times.

A flag was quickly thrown after the celebration, as the officials certainly didn’t appreciate it, and many on social media didn’t either.

This was on a 3rd and 15. He got unsportsmanlike penalty and gave ole miss a first down that led to a field goal when they could’ve got the ball back. But hey he emptied the clip 😂😂 Football IQ out of this world.

“Being a Hurricane fan, I have NEVER been a fan of flagging for celebrations, but there is a line and that is crossed right there….,” said one comment.
“Call me soft, but I think that’s a suspension and possibly getting kicked off the team,” added a third.
“This is one of the wildest football celebrations I have seen,” continued a fourth.
Hopefully, this is an experience that Stewart can learn from so he doesn’t make similar mistakes in the future.
Dylan Stewart Is Still A Freshman
This mistake can possibly be chalked up to Stewart being a young kid who still needs time to mature. Right now, Stewart is just 19 years old and a freshman.
Through the year so far, he has accumulated eight total tackles, two and a half sacks, and two forced fumbles.
If he can clean some things up, Stweart can be a force on this South Carolina defense for his entire collegiate career.
