Transfer portal tracker
The NCAA transfer portal window is set to open next Monday, Dec. 9 and run through Saturday, Dec. 28. But even though it isn’t open yet, graduate players can still enter the portal now, as can players on a team where there’s been a coaching change.
Additionally, some players are already announcing their future intentions to leave their current school.
GamecockCentral’s transfer portal tracker will provide a snapshot of all the South Carolina players who have entered the portal, announced their intentions to do so, or that sources have indicated those intentions.
We will also use it to track players from other schools who have committed to the Gamecocks from the portal.

LB Bangally Kamara – 10/9/24 (Kansas)
Kamara transferred to South Carolina from Pitt this past offseason and was a contributing rotational player at linebacker in the early part of the season. But after telling Shane Beamer he wanted to sit out and redshirt, the Gamecocks head coach told him that wasn’t an option. Kamara chose the portal over completing his season with Carolina.
NOTES: Walk-on offensive lineman Ni Mansell is also entering the transfer portal.
Transfer portal background information
The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.
The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.
Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.
