  12/18/22 - Darius Rush, rSr/2023, South Carolina, 6-2, 198 (DS#12 CB) + More +

  South Carolina cornerback Darius Rush is turning pro. Rush announced on Thursday via Twitter he intends to enter the NFL Draft following five years in Columbia. He won't play in the Gamecocks' bowl game against Notre Dame. "The last five years at South Carolina have been incredible," he said in a video. "It's been full of memories that will last forever and I'll cherish forever. "Since I was a kid I always dreamt of running out of that tunnel at Williams-Brice Stadium and that's what I did here. Forever grateful for all the memories I have in this stadium with the fan base, teammates (and) coaches."

The former CE Murray standout evolved into one of the Gamecocks' most productive players in the secondary over the last two years after arriving at South Carolina as a receiver. Rush, rated a three-star prospect in the class of 2018, started at cornerback opposite projected first round pick Cam Smith the past two years. He finished the 2022 campaign with 38 tackles, nine passes defended, two interceptions and one sack. Rush accepted an invitation to play in the Reese's Senior Bowl, which will feature some of the top prospects for this year's NFL Draft. - Rock Hill Herald

  Dowell Loggains has the first priority of the job at South Carolina on lock: quarterback Spencer Rattler. "We've got to do a great job recruiting him back," Loggains said during his introductory press conference on Wednesday. "I told someone, 'He's the biggest recruit since my wife." Whether Rattler ever plays for Loggains in Columbia is up in the air. After coming on strong in wins over No. 5 Tennessee and No. 8 Clemson, the ex-Oklahoma signal-caller is currently weighing a return to college against leaving early for the NFL Draft. Rattler had ample hype around him heading into the season. He'd lit the Big 12 on fire his first full year as a starter at OU before being benched in 2021 in favor of future Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. That led to a transfer to South Carolina, where Rattler became one of the most high-profile imports in program history.

This year ebbed and flowed in Marcus Satterfield's offense. Rattler threw seven interceptions in his first five games, struggling to find a rhythm as the Gamecocks offense tripped over itself week after week. But as the year progressed, he found a groove. He torched Tennessee for 438 yards and six touchdowns. He followed that up with 360 yards and two scores passing and one rushing in the victory over Clemson to close the regular season. "I think that those last two games - and I haven't really had a chance to dive in and talk to Spencer about this - but he played free," Loggains said. "For whatever reason, he got to the point where he looked very confident. It didn't feel that way all year. I think that's probably what created some inconsistency." Loggains, who spent the bulk of his time in the NFL working with quarterbacks, will also handle those duties in Columbia. - Rock Hill Herald

  12/14/22 - Trey Knox, rSr/2024, South Carolina, 6-3, 234 (DS#16 TE) + More +

  Arkansas tight end Trey Knox has entered the NCAA transfer portal. The news was first reported by The Athletic's Max Olson. Knox, a senior from Murfreesboro, Tenn., intends to find a new program following four seasons with the Razorbacks. He arrived at Arkansas ahead of the 2019 season as a heralded 4-star wide receiver. In his first season with the Razorbacks, Knox caught 21 passes for for 299 yards and 2 touchdowns in the opening four games. He added 7 receptions for 86 yards and 1 score in his final 7 games played as he battled a hip injury.

The following season, Knox's contributions were scarce, finishing with 7 catches for 70 yards. Early in 2021, Arkansas transitioned Knox to tight end, where he contributed 46 grabs for 437 yards and 6 touchdowns the last 2 years. He finished the 2022 regular season third on the team with 296 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns on 26 catches. Knox had a pair of two-touchdown games this fall against Cincinnati and Liberty. With Knox's intent to transfer, the Razorbacks will be without three of their top four pass catchers for the Liberty Bowl against Kansas on Dec. 28. In late November, leading receiver Jadon Haselwood declared for the upcoming NFL Draft, and Ketron Jackson entered the transfer portal last week. - Northwest Arkansas Times
