Clemson, USC players react to Tavien Feaster joining Gamecocks

Former Clemson running back Tavien Feaster made his decision to transfer to South Carolina official Monday afternoon, announcing the move on Instagram.

Feaster announced in April that he was transferring from Clemson in search of a larger role. After receiving interest from several schools throughout the country, Feaster decided on a final two of South Carolina and Virginia Tech.
