“Former Texas A&M Star Joins Gamecocks—And He’s Already in Awe of Williams-Brice Stadium”
Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy took a moment to glance out the cafeteria windows at the Long Family Football Operations Center, his eyes landing on Williams-Brice Stadium in the distance. A slight smirk crossed his face as he reflected on a night he’d never forget.
Now a South Carolina Gamecock after transferring from Texas A&M, Brownlow-Dindy remembers what it felt like to be on the other side—an opponent battling in front of the roaring Gamecock faithful.
Back in 2024, he traveled to Columbia with the Aggies for a top-10 showdown. The game was tied at 20 at halftime, but South Carolina delivered a second-half shutout, dominating then-No. 10 Texas A&M in a 44-20 rout. The victory was so electric, Gamecock fans stormed the field—for the second time in three seasons.
Looking back on that night, Brownlow-Dindy still marvels at the spectacle inside Williams-Brice Stadium.
“It was crazy just seeing the stadium go dark and all that stuff,” he told GamecockCentral. “And then playing all the songs and stuff—it was wild. I don’t know how else to describe it.”
A Stadium Unlike Any Other
As a defensive lineman, Brownlow-Dindy is expected to play a major role for South Carolina in 2025. He’s already familiar with playing in some of the sport’s biggest venues—after all, he spent his home games in Kyle Field, one of college football’s largest and most intimidating stadiums.
With a capacity of over 102,000, Kyle Field ranks as the fourth-largest stadium in college football. Williams-Brice, by comparison, holds just over 77,000, placing it 18th in capacity.
Yet, despite the size difference, Brownlow-Dindy has a bold take on which stadium delivers a more intense atmosphere.
“Kyle Field, it’s loud. It gets loud, but I feel like (Williams-Brice and Gamecock fans) were really consistently loud throughout the whole game,” he said. “Even when there were bad plays, the next play they continue to roar and do all that stuff. It was crazy. It was definitely hard to play in for sure.”
Now, instead of trying to block out the noise, Brownlow-Dindy will be on the receiving end of that energy—and he can’t wait.
