Former Bowling Green DL Davonte Miles signs with South Carolina

Former Bowling Green DL Davonte Miles signed with South Carolina out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned.

This season, Miles finished with 11 tackles in eight games. Over the course of three seasons, Miles has 26 tackles.

As a member of the Class of 2022, Miles was a three-star recruit out of River Rouge (Mich.) High, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 28 overall prospect in the state, the No. 98 offensive tackle (before switching in college) and the No. 1,195 overall prospect in the class.

Davonte Miles signs with South Carolina

Miles isn’t the only player to join South Carolina this portal cycle. Former Alabama LB Justin Okoronkwo committed earlier this week.

He played in all 13 games for the Crimson Tide in 2024, finishing the year with 14 tackles, including 0.5 tackles for loss.

Okoronkwo is from Germany. He originally chose Alabama over Michigan, Penn State, Nebraska, South Carolina and others. Okoronkwo entered the transfer portal earlier this month after playing for Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl against Michigan. He committed to the Crimson Tide back in July of 2023.

Okoronkwo helped Alabama to a 9-4 record in 2024, which was Kalen DeBoer’s first season as the Crimson Tide head coach. He is now joining a South Carolina program that also finished with a 9-4 record this past season. The Gamecocks bring back a lot of talent, particularly on offense. But they are losing several key players on defense. Perhaps Okoronkwo can step in and be an impact player for the Gamecocks.
