South Carolina is making waves in the transfer portal—and they’re not slowing down. This weekend, the Gamecocks added four high-impact players, giving the roster a serious jolt of talent and depth.
The defense is getting a major upgrade. Speed, power, and versatility are the name of the game, and South Carolina is stacking pieces to create a front line that can pressure, disrupt, and dominate every snap.
Depth is no longer a question. With these additions, the Gamecocks are building competition at every spot, forcing opponents to sweat when they step onto the field in 2026. Expect rotations of hungry, hungry players ready to make plays.
One of the newest arrivals is no stranger to the grind. After bouncing from Kentucky to West Virginia and Florida State, he finally broke out last season in the Big Ten, earning accolades and making an immediate impact wherever he went.
Meet Tomiwa Durojaiye, the Illinois transfer who started eight games in 2025, racking up 16 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks, earning All-Big Ten honorable mention honors.
Durojaiye’s journey through five programs in five years has made him battle-tested and hungry. Now in Columbia, he’s ready to bring explosive pass-rushing power to the Gamecocks’ defensive line and immediately change the game.
