Gamecocks transfer quickly finds a new home at ACC school
One of South Carolina football’s transfers didn’t take long to find a new home.
Defensive tackle Makius Scott announced he’d leave the Gamecocks on Friday and Monday he announced he’s headed to Georgia Tech. He opted out right after Will Muschamp was fired in November.
A former three-star recruit, Scott played in no games this season. He was the No. 755 recruit in the country.
The Gamecocks mainly relied on Zacch Pickens, Jabari Ellis, Keir Thomas and Rick Sandidge at tackle. M.J. Webb was the No. 5 option, moving past Scott and an injured Alex Huntley on the depth chart.
Scott was recruited and signed by former defensive line coach John Scott Jr. He played under Tracy Rocker after John Scott left for Penn State.
