The complete revamp of the South Carolina running back room is complete.

SC State transfer portal running back Jawarn Howell, an FCS Freshman All-American this past season, announced a commitment to the Gamecocks on Thursday.

The 6-foot-1, 215-pounder led the MEAC in rushing with 808 yards on 102 carries (7.92 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns. He added ten receptions for 149 yards and two TDs.

His biggest game this past season came when he was named FCS National Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for 283 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries against Howard.

Howell landed an offer from South Carolina last week and took an official visit to Columbia during the middle of this week.

He has three seasons of eligibility as well as a redshirt year left.

Howell is the third transfer portal pledge in the Gamecocks’ class, joining former Arkansas running back Rocket Sanders and former North Texas back Oscar Adaway III.

Track transfer portal activity

While the NCAA Transfer Portal database is private, the On3 Network has streamlined the reporting process tracking player movement. If you find yourself asking, ‘How can I track transfer portal activity?’ our well-established network of reporters and contacts across college athletics keeps you up to speed in several ways, from articles written about players as they enter and exit the transfer portal or find their new destination, to our social media channels, to the On3 Transfer Portal.

The transfer portal wire provides a real-time feed of player activity, including basic player profile information, transfer portal ranking and original On3 Industry recruiting ranking, as well as NIL valuation (name, image and likeness).

The On3 Transfer Portal Rankings allow for you to filter the On3 Industry Rankings to find the best of the best in the portal, starting with Overall Top Players.

You can dive deeper into the rankings and filter by position whether it is Quarterback, Running Back, Wide Receiver, Tight End, Offensive Tackle, Interior Offensive Line, Edge, Defensive Line, Linebacker, Cornerback, Safety, Athlete, Kicker, Punter, or Long Snapper you’re looking for.

The On3 Transfer Portal Instagram account and Twitter account are excellent resources to stay up to date with the latest moves.
