DQ Smith Transfer Amid Eligibility Rule Shift | South Carolina Gamecocks Football News

DQ Smith, South Carolina’s former safety with 228 tackles and 5 interceptions, is entering the transfer portal as a wave of college football chaos hits — thanks to a federal court ruling granting athletes from the 2022-23 academic year an extra year of eligibility. Suddenly, NFL prospects like Smith are re-entering the college scene, reshaping rosters and creating uncertainty. While some, like Junior Tuihalamaka heading to LSU, have found new homes, Smith’s path remains unclear — returning to South Carolina seems unlikely with their new defensive back already in place. The SEC commissioner has voiced concerns, but for now, transfers are allowed, turning this season into a wild, unpredictable ride.
