REPORT: South Carolina Loses Transfer Tight End Commit

South Carolina's Football program is losing it's second transfer portal commit of the offseason, with tight end Brady Hunt flipping to another SEC school.

Back in December, the Gamecocks lost Vanderbilt WR transfer Jayden McGowan to Boston College. It was the first time that had happened in the Shane Beamer era, and it didn't take long for the second occurance to take place. On Thursday afternoon, it was first reported by GamecockCentral that Ball State tight end Brady Hunt, who had signed with South Carolina during the early national signing period in December, had flipped to Texas A&M. Hunt's departure brings the total number of portal commits for the Gamecocks down to eight.
