While South Carolina has been loud on the recruiting trail this season, one transfer move seems to have slipped through the cracks. Former five-star recruit DeAngelo Gibbs was listed on a South Carolina graphic, meaning he has been added to the program.

Gibbs tallied ten tackles in 13 games over two seasons as a defensive back for the Georgia Bulldogs in the 2017-18 season. In 2019, he redshirted after transferring from Georgia to Tennessee, where he was a key scout player for the team.

Since then, he has practiced as a defensive back and wide receiver at Tennessee. He left Tennessee and seemed to walk on at Bethune-Cookman. He re-entered the transfer portal in November and found himself in South Carolina.

South Carolina could be a good opportunity for the former UA all-American athlete who hasn’t had a lot of opportunities. Gibbs still has the pedigree to do some impressive things at the college level but needs the opportunity.

He was the second five-star prospect the Gamecocks landed on Wednesday, as tight end Nyckoles Harbor ended his long recruitment and chose Carolina. Harbor will play a hybrid tight end in college, primarily as a wide receiver in most formations.
