Miami Transfer RB Don Chaney Jr. Sets Up Visit To South Carolina
Also recognized as Donald Chaney Jr, he's the son of former Gamecock WR Don Chaney, who wrapped up his playing days at South Carolina in 1992. Chaney Jr, initially touted as a 5-star high school talent, eventually settled as a four-star running back. He displayed his skills in the All-American Bowl, gaining recognition as one of the nation's best in his position.
Back in high school, he seriously thought about joining the Gamecocks, guided by the expertise of elite running back coach Thomas Brown. Despite facing competition with commitments from five-star Marshawn Lloyd and a silent commitment from five-star Tank Bigsby, Chaney Jr chose the path of Miami. Throughout his four years with Miami, he brought in 852 rushing yards, scored touchdowns, and accumulated an impressive 1,014 all-purpose yards.
Just this past weekend, Chaney Jr entered the transfer portal, catching the keen eye of Gamecock Digest. Confirming his connections to the program, it's now certain that he'll be making a visit to Columbia on December 8th.
Although other potential suitors are still unknown, the fact that a visit is already on the books implies a speedy progression of events. Chaney Jr, a highly talented running back, has the potential to make a significant impact for the Gamecocks next year if he decides to commit.
