Former 4-star EDGE leaving South Carolina in transfer portal
South Carolina redshirt freshman EDGE rusher Wendell Gregory plans to transfer, per a report from On3’s Hayes Fawcett. He was a 4-star prospect in the class of 2024 but redshirted after moving from linebacker to EDGE in his first year in Columbia. Gregory will enter the portal during the spring window, right around the time of the Garnet and Black Spring Game. He will have four years of eligibility left to play.
During his only season in garnet and black, Gregory saw action in two games. The 6-3, 245-pound athlete logged just one tackle, a stop against the Akron Zips last September.
The recruiting industry was divided on Gregory’s best positional fit. Some outlets rated him as a linebacker, while others (including On3) considered him an EDGE. It remains to be seen which position he’d like to play at his next collegiate stop.
