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.
