Tigers, Gamecocks lose players to portal, draft
Clemson’s Collins, and South Carolina’s Wells were among the notable departures Thursday
Player movement in college football has been fast and furious all week, with a number of Clemson Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks signaling their intent to leave the program, either via the transfer portal or for the NFL draft.
Though the fall transfer period does not begin in the NCAA until Dec. 4, and runs through Jan. 2, players all across college football are entering their names into the portal with the hopes of finding a new home, a better fit, more opportunity, and, in the current era of NIL (name, image and likeness), more money.
WYFF News 4 Sports is keeping track of the comings and goings for both programs.
