Rattler was one of 13 Gamecock football players that participated in a Garnet Trust SEC Championship Watch Party on Saturday.
The event took place at the “CB90 House” in downtown Columbia and gave South Carolina fans an opportunity to interact with and receive signed memorabilia from athletes.
Garnet Trust previously signed Rattler to a multi-month content and endorsement NIL agreement back in January of 2022.

The redshirt junior is still mulling his future between returning to Columbia for another season or declaring for the 2023 NFL Draft.
“I’ll decide what I want to do after the bowl game. It’s definitely up in the air. I’ll talk to my family, coaches, so I’ll make an informed decision,” the redshirt junior said.

Rattler is in the process of getting feedback on his NFL prospects and has also had conversations with head coach Shane Beamer. A search is underway to hire a new offensive coordinator.
When it comes to his decision, there are multiple angles for Rattler to consider.
“There’s multiple factors,” he said. “Personal, football-wise, but I’m just going to finish the season out with the bowl game. That’s my focus right now. After that, all decisions will be made.”

“There is time to make that decision. They don’t have to declare for the draft here for another month or so. He wants to make a sound, thorough decision. He’s got plenty of time to do that,” Shane Beamer said during a recent appearance on 107.5 The Game. “Like I told him, we’ll support him with whatever he decides to do. We want to arm him and his family and people with as much information as we can and make the best decision for his future.”
The South Carolina football program will learn its bowl destiny on Sunday. A press conference will take place at 5:00 p.m. EST in which head coach Shane Beamer will discuss the team’s selection.
During his 2022 season for Gamecock football, Rattler completed over 66 percent of his passes for 2,780 yards. He accounted for 16 touchdowns through the air and an additional 3 scores rushing.
