The Gamecocks return to the transfer portal this time landing a commitment from Ball State transfer cornerback Myles Norwood, On3's Pete Nakos reports.

Norwood is a former JUCO product that began his collegiate career at Iowa State before landing at Ball State and ultimately South Carolina. His addition to the room is needed after the Gamecocks are expected to lose players due to eligibility reasons. The 6-foot-1 and 183 pounder out of St. Louis, Missouri had five passes defensed in 2024 to go along with two forced fumbles and 38 total tackles.

Norwood is the seventh transfer addition to South Carolina following the Christmas Eve addition of Western Kentucky offensive lineman Rodney Newsom.
