12/20/21 - Spencer Rattler, rSr/2024, South Carolina, 6-0, 211 (DS#7 QB) + More +

For the first time since South Carolina shook the college football world with the signing of transfer quarterback Spencer Rattler, head coach Shane Beamer was able to speak publicly on the move. Speaking with College Sports Today on ESPNU Radio on Wednesday afternoon, Beamer shared the excitement of landing Rattler, a transfer QB from Oklahoma, along with Sooners tight end Austin Stogner. Beamer got to know Rattler while he was an assistant coach on Lincoln Riley's Oklahoma staff. "I think it's huge," Beamer said. "I know it's huge. One, because of the kind of player he is. I was around him at Oklahoma. I know what kind of player he is and what kind of person he is, and I'm excited about adding him to our roster. But then just his name and the reputation he has and the excitement and buzz it generated for South Carolina football was amazing." Rattler and Stogner both announced their commitments to the Gamecocks late Monday night before officially signing financial aid agreements on Tuesday night - the eve of college football's early signing period.

Beamer said the news of Rattler's signing energized the team's recruits. "The news comes out a couple nights ago ... and immediately the amount of recruits that were texting me about it, normally it's me communicating with them through text and FaceTime - but they're hitting me up about their excitement that Spencer Rattler is coming here," Beamer said. "I think it makes a great statement about what this program's about. Spencer could've gone anywhere in the country and chose to come here for his 2022 season of football." - Rock Hill Herald

South Carolina's bowl roster picture is getting clearer. All-SEC defensive lineman Kingsley "JJ" Enagbare announced on Monday that he is forgoing his remaining eligibility to enter the NFL Draft. Enagbare's projections are wide-ranging, but he's been slotted as high as a first round pick depending on the outlet. "I'm thankful to Coach Muschamp and his staff for recruiting me, believing in me and giving me the opportunity to play at South Carolina," he wrote in a Twitter announcement. "I am also grateful for the opportunity to play under Coach Beamer and the new staff. To all the coaches, trainers and support staff who encouraged me and pushed me throughout the years, I thank you." Enagbare is the latest in a long line of productive defensive line prospects to come out of South Carolina in recent years. He finished his 2021 campaign with 41 tackles, five tackles for a loss, and 2.5 sacks. - Rock Hill Herald

South Carolina defensive end Kingsley Enagbare is heading to the NFL and starting quarterback Jason Brown is entering the transfer portal. Enagbare and Brown announced their decisions on Twitter on Wednesday. Enagbare is a 6-foot-4, 265 pound lineman who had 41 tackles with 2.5 sacks this season. He is not expected to play for the Gamecocks in the Duke's Mayo Bowl against North Carolina on Dec. 30. Enagbare thanked his coaches, past and present, teammates and fans "for the memories and being part of my journey." Brown is a first-year quarterback who started the last four games for South Carolina, leading the Gamecocks to a 40-17 win against Florida and a 21-17 victory over Auburn. Brown's move comes two days after Oklahoma transfer Spencer Rattler, who began this season as a top Heisman Trophy contender, said he was joining the Gamecocks. - AP College Football

Shane Beamer's rebuilding project just shot into the stratosphere. Already aiming at a significant National Signing Day on Dec. 15, South Carolina was rocket-propelled into the recruiting spotlight two days prior. Spencer Rattler, the former top-ranked quarterback prospect in his class, 2020 National Freshman of the Year at Oklahoma and Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Year, announced on Dec. 13 that he will transfer to USC.

Rattler lost his starting job to freshman Caleb Williams this season after throwing five interceptions to 11 touchdowns and presiding over a stagnant offense. Even with a coaching change - Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables was hired to replace Lincoln Riley, who left Oklahoma for Southern Cal - the days were being counted from when Rattler lost his spot to when he would pick a new school. Beamer, who came from Oklahoma to USC before the 2021 season, clearly knew Rattler, but the Gamecocks were considered a longshot to land him. It seemed logical that Rattler would return closer to his Phoenix hometown. - The Post and Courier

12/13/21 - Spencer Rattler, rSr/2024, South Carolina, 6-0, 211 (DS#7 QB) + More +

One-time Heisman Trophy contender Spencer Rattler is leaving Oklahoma for South Carolina to join former Sooners' assistant Shane Beamer. Rattler tweeted Monday night that he had committed to the Gamecocks. The post showed Rattler in a South Carolina uniform with the Gamecocks' logo in the background with the words, "COMMITTED." "Excited for the next chapter," Rattler's post said. The 6-foot-1 redshirt sophomore spent his first three seasons with the Sooners, and was considered among the top candidates for the Heisman Trophy entering the 2021 season. But he lost the starting job to Caleb Williams and said he was leaving the program when the year ended.

Rattler played in nine games this season, completing 140 of 187 passes for 1,483 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. One of Rattler's targets at Oklahoma, tight end Austin Stogner, also tweeted he was heading to South Carolina. Stogner's post looked similar to Rattler's, and added, "Let's roll." Stogner is 6-foot-6 junior from Plano, Texas, who had 14 catches for 166 yards and three touchdowns. His best season with the Sooners was in 2020 when he had 26 receptions for 422 yards and three TDs. - AP College Football

Tyler Riddell found Nate Adkins on a crossing route in the back of the end zone for a 2-point conversion with 35 seconds to play to give seventh-seeded East Tennessee State a shocking 32-31 win over Kennesaw State on Saturday in the second round of the FCS playoffs. Riddell threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Will Huzzie with 1:28 to play and Tim Stayskal recovered an onside kick on the Kennesaw 48. It took the Buccaneers 5 plays to score; a 4-yard pass from Riddell to Quay Holmes. ETSU coach Randy Sanders didn't hesitate in the decision to go for the win.

The Buccaneers (11-1) face second-seeded North Dakota State in the quarterfinals next weekend. Riddell was 22 of 35 for 238 yards and three touchdowns. Holmes had seven receptions for 95 yards and two touchdowns and the Southern Conference Offensive MVP ran 13 times for 87 yards with a touchdown. Jonathan Murphy came off the bench to throw for two touchdowns and run for two and Kennesaw State (11-2) was up 31-17 after a field goal with 5:02 to play. Murphy replaced injured Big South Conference Offensive MVP Xavier Shepherd in the closing minute of the scoreless first quarter. Murphy was 6-of-14 passing for 125 yards and kept the ball 28 times for 164 yards. - East Tennessee State/AP College Football

11/29/21 - Spencer Rattler, rSr/2024, South Carolina, 6-0, 211 (DS#7 QB) + More +

Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler, a preseason All-American who lost the starting job early in the season, announced on social media Monday that he will enter the transfer portal. The decision came a day after coach Lincoln Riley's decision to leave for Southern California. Rattler was a five-star prospect and the top high school quarterback in the class of 2019. After a successful 2020 season, he entered this season as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate. But he struggled at times to move the team and was booed by the home fans during a close call against West Virginia. He was benched after a slow start against Texas, and Caleb Williams took over and rallied the team to victory. Williams kept the starting job, though Rattler eventually regained favor with the fans.

For the season, the Phoenix native completed 75% of his passes for 1,483 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. In 11 games last season, Rattler passed for 3,031 yards with 28 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He led the Sooners to a 55-20 win over Florida in the Cotton Bowl, setting up all the hype heading into this season. Rattler's decision also comes as a number of Oklahoma recruits have chosen to decommit. Five-star quarterback Malachi Nelson, one of the top prospects in the class of 2023, is just one of those to open up his options. - AP College Football

11/21/21 - ZaQuandre White, rSr/2022, South Carolina, 6-0, 215 (DS#38 RB) + More +

ZaQuandre White was South Carolina's leading rusher with 99 yards and top receiver with 69 yards as the Gamecocks became bowl eligible the traditional way for the first time in three seasons with a 21-17 win over Auburn on Saturday night. For the second week in a row, the Tigers dominated early and jumped out to a big lead - this time 14-0 - but saw it evaporate as their defense suddenly lost its edge. White had just three yards rushing at that point. But the Gamecocks (6-5, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) scored touchdowns on their next two drives with White running for 37 yards and popping uncovered out of the backfield for a 28-yard TD on a 4th-and-3 that turned the momentum of the game around.

South Carolina's third starting quarterback of the season Jason Brown went 10-of-15 passing for 157 yards and three touchdowns, overcoming a bad throw that was easily picked off in the end zone in the first quarter. Auburn (6-5, 3-4) lost its third game in a row even though Tank Bigsby ran for a season best 164 yards on 22 carries. LSU transfer T.J. Finley made his first start for his new team, going 17-for-32 passing for 188 yards after Bo Nix was lost for the season with a broken ankle. Auburn appeared to have one last chance, but a review of several minutes determined a South Carolina punt barley brushed Jaylon Simpson's leg with 2:11 to go and the Gamecocks ran the clock out. Auburn saw a 28-3 lead disappea r last week against Mississippi State. South Carolina made a bowl last season with a 2-8 record, but it was canceled because of COVID-19. - South Carolina/AP College Football
