Gamecocks’ Deep Threat Ready for the NFL Spotlight
After using up his eligibility in 2025, redshirt senior receiver Jared Brown will leave South Carolina and enter the 2026 NFL Draft. A former deep threat, Brown recorded a career-high 17 yards per reception despite a down year of 102 receiving yards. He spent three seasons at Coastal Carolina, catching 108 passes for 1,534 yards and 11 touchdowns before transferring to South Carolina for his final two seasons, adding 21 catches for 346 yards and a touchdown. Over 45 collegiate games, he amassed 129 receptions, 1,880 yards, 12 TDs, plus 44 rushes for 512 yards and two scores. Brown joins several teammates declaring for the draft, including DT Monkell Goodwine, DT Nick Barrett, and DE Bryan Thomas Jr., as the Gamecocks brace for significant offseason roster changes.
The Gamecocks must be running a Clearance Sale: Exit Moore! Enter the Portal! Draft Day Deals! Jared Brown is packing his bags while the coaching staff frantically searches under the couch for leftovers. With numbers deflating faster than a cheap pool float, our star receiver is leaping from George Street to the NFL catwalk. Next, we’ll need willing victims—er, recruits—to replace a small army of equipment managers masquerading as offensive linemen and defensive tackles. Here’s hoping Santa’s sleigh arrives early in Columbia—because without bodies on the field, the stadium might host interpretive dance instead of football.
Norwood’s Transfer Trek: Four Schools and Counting
Defensive back Myles Norwood, after stops at Iowa Western CC, Iowa State, Ball State, and one season at South Carolina, plans to enter the transfer portal seeking a fourth collegiate home for his final year of eligibility. A former track star, Norwood began at Iowa Western before moving to Iowa State (one appearance), briefly committed to New Mexico State (no action), and starred at Ball State with 38 tackles, two TFLs, one fumble recovery, and a team-leading 10 pass breakups. At South Carolina in 2025, he added 19 tackles over 10 games, including two starts, and joins 11 teammates in heading to the portal.
It’s like watching a reality show: “America’s Next Top Transfer Portal Nominee.” Myles Norwood’s resume reads like a travel agency brochure—2 games at Iowa State, a layover at New Mexico State, a pit stop at Ball State, now last call at South Carolina. What will the next destination bring? A glamour shot at “Big Ten West 532” or themed bathroom duties at a mid-major after dark? While the coaching staff yanks hair out trying to track these serial transferments, fans can binge-watch Norwood’s next episode—will he land in a Heisman hype cycle or settle into an entirely new cafeteria routine?
