Main Story

Former South Carolina star Savannah McCaskill is joining the USC Association of Lettermen’s Athletics Hall of Fame class of 2026. Her standout Gamecocks career helped drive the program’s rise, while her journey continued to the NWSL, where she plays for Gotham FC. McCaskill says the honor reflects the people and team success behind her career as much as her individual achievements.

By the Numbers
  • 2-time first-team All-American (2016, 2017)
  • 3-time first-team All-SEC selection (2015–17)
  • 40 career goals and 34 assists at South Carolina
  • South Carolina went 40-5-2 during her final two seasons
Yes, But

McCaskill’s school-record 17-goal season was surpassed by Cat Barry in 2024. A potential Gotham FC playoff run could also prevent McCaskill from attending the Hall of Fame ceremony.

State of Play
  • McCaskill is the second overall pick in the 2018 NWSL draft and currently plays for Gotham FC.
  • South Carolina retired her jersey in 2025, making her the first Gamecocks women’s soccer player to receive the honor.
Bottom Line

McCaskill’s Hall of Fame recognition celebrates both her elite production and her role in South Carolina’s most successful stretch to that point—an impact that continues to define the program’s history.
