South Carolina defensive lineman Devontae Davis enters transfer portal

South Carolina defensive linemen Devontae Davis has entered the transfer portal according to On3.com’s Matt Zenitz.

Davis is the latest Gamecock to hit the transfer portal on Monday. His teammates at South Carolina, EJ Jenkins and Jahkeem Green announced they would be transferring earlier on Monday.

Davis– who spent his entire career with the Gamecocks in a reserve role — appeared in nine games at South Carolina after transferring in from Georgia Military College. The New Ellenton native compiled just four tackles in his Gamecocks career.

Still, three players deciding to leave the program in one day isn’t ideal for Shane Beamer as he and the new staff attempt to revitalize the Gamecocks’ program.

Spencer Rattler reveals what he’s enjoyed most about being at South Carolina

South Carolina Gamecocks quarterback Spencer Rattler has been open about his transfer from the Oklahoma Sooners recently, even calling it a “toxic situation.” Rattler has said playing for Shane Beamer is an opportunity he needed for his career after how the 2021 season transpired in Norman.

When asked what he’s enjoyed the most about South Carolina thus far, Rattler was extremely complimentary of the fan base. With the Gamecocks’ spring game taking place over the weekend, the quarterback got to play in front of Williams-Brice Stadium for the first time. Rattler said if the fans have the team’s back, they will “feel invincible” throughout the year.

“Just the overall vibe,” Rattler said. “Like I said the other day, this city, this town — you can feel the excitement for this team and the love for this team. That’s big-time for us. When our fans got our back, we feel invincible. Like I said, great turnout tonight, and made me even happier. Knowing I made the right decision with how loyal these fans are and how happy they were to see us play today.”

Rattler will get to play two out of his first three games this season at home, with the Georgia Bulldogs coming to town in Week 3. If South Carolina can get past an early SEC matchup against Arkansas, the atmosphere at Williams-Brice Stadium will be one of the best all season. With all the love Rattler is showing the Gamecock fans, they will return the favor once the 2021 season kicks off.
