South Carolina senior linebacker Bangally Kamara plans to sit out the remainder of the season and will enter the NCAA transfer portal, GamecockCentral.com has learned.

The fifth-year defender has played in four games this season for the Gamecocks, meaning that he could redshirt and then play a sixth year at another program.
