The South Carolina Gamecocks have added Bowling Green transfer defensive lineman Davonte Miles to their roster. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing approximately 275 pounds, Miles hails from River Rouge, Michigan. According to ESPN, Miles recorded 2 solo tackles, 11 total tackles, and 9 assisted tackles during the 2024 season. Over his career, he has totaled 26 tackles (10 solo, 16 assisted) but has yet to record a sack.

This move comes after the Gamecocks missed out on two of the top available defensive tackles in the transfer portal. Miles is likely seen as a developmental prospect, with two years of eligibility remaining. Despite limited production at Bowling Green, the Gamecocks may view him as a depth addition and a player with potential to grow into a larger role within their system.

2024 | Sophomore Season Highlights

  • Appeared in 10 games for Bowling Green.
  • Notched three tackles, including a half-TFL, against Colorado State.
  • Recorded a tackle in the victory over Akron.
  • Registered two tackles, including a half-TFL, against Northern Illinois.
  • Added a stop in the win at Toledo.
  • Tallied two tackles in the win at Central Michigan.
  • Made a tackle in the victory over Western Michigan.

While Miles' statistics might not jump off the page, his size and eligibility make him an intriguing addition to the Gamecocks' defensive line.
