Off the top of my head: Lee Ozmint, Todd Mangum, Kevin Turner, Sam Collins, Jarrett Johnson, Bobby Greenwood, Cory Reamer, Will Lowery, Vinnie Sunseri, Dillon Lee, too many offensive linemen to count, etc.
like I told my fellow Auburn fan. Linemen are not skill positions. Neither are Linebackers. I can't believe so many people are having trouble with this. I guess I'll just spell it out.
Skill Positions:
-QB
-RB (generally just HB unless it's an increasingly rare Alstott/ Tolbert type)
-WR
-CB
- Safety
-Return Specialists
TE isn't generally considered a skill position either fwiw so OP messed up right in the title

Been a while, and I'm not terribly sure defensive backs belong on a skill position list.
But Terry Hoague was a dynamite player for UGA in the post Walker years.
His lack of athleticism meant no pro career, but he was dominating and multi-faceted as a college player. Kind of like Ted Hendricks in the secondary as a long and lanky presence.
Think I remember him returning punts. Made a lot of big plays for Georgia. Him, Garrison Hearst, and Robert Edwards are the guys I remember most from Georgia post-Herschel.
As to the OP's question, for South Carolina it's probably Steve Wadiak.
I'd say Jeff Grantz as well, but he was a qb.
Bobby Beathard played for us, and Dan Reeves. Both of those were from the 60's though.
Heck I'll say Wadiak for college, but it really was a different game.

I take that back. Did a wiki on Terry Hoage (misspelled his name).
"Hoage attended the University of Georgia, where he played for coach Vince Dooley's Georgia Bulldogs football team from 1980 to 1983. As a junior and again as a senior, was a recognized as a consensus first All-American. Coach Dooley called Hoage "the best defensive player I've ever coached and maybe the best one I've ever seen."[1] He finished fifth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy in 1983.[2] He graduated from Georgia in 1985 with a bachelor's degree in genetics with a 3.85 grade point average."
But my addendum is apparently:
"Hoage was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the third round (sixty-eight pick overall) of the 1984 NFL Draft.[3] His NFL career spanned 13 seasons and six teams: the New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Houston Oilers, San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals. His professional football career ended in 1996."
I swear I don't remember him as a pro. And that was the period I payed the most attention to the NFL.

BAMA's Kevin Turner! Toughest and strongest FB pound for pound 88-91. Drafted by the Patriots in the 3rd round. Played 3 seasons with the Pats before singing and playing 5 seasons for the Eagles. 635 career rushing yards, 4ypc and 2,015 receiving yards. ALS took my friend on March 24, 2016.

I think you should start off by defining what skill position is because there has been someone named from every position except for LB.
My answer is Sam Collins.
My answer is Sam Collins.

Didn't think I'd ever have a reason to post this truly awesome pic again. He was the best in high school, though not while at LSU.

it takes more skill to play offensive lineman and LB than it does to play WR, RB, or CB.

Okay, well despite your opinion that still isn't the definition of a skill position.

So I got 2 down votes for Kevin Turner at BAMA. WTH?
He was a damn FB and a damn good one too. 217 rushes for 1018 yards, 4.7 ypc 6 TDs and 95 receptions 928 yards 9.8 per catch 5 TDs.
'89 season, he was 4th in the conference in both receptions (48) and in receiving yards (465).
