South Carolina guard Trae Hannibal has entered the transfer portal, GamecockCentral has confirmed.

Hannibal is the first Gamecock to enter the transfer portal this offseason.

"I want to first give glory to God, who has been my strenght and sense of direction throughout this entire process. Second, I'd like to thank the staff and the academic tutors and administration who have pushed me to excel in the classroom," Hannibal wrote in an Instagram post. "With that being said, I have made the decision to enter the transfer portal in search of a new home for my talents. I am grateful to everyone who has been a part of my journey here at USC and you all will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you all! — 12 out."

The in-state guard and former top 150 prospect in the Gamecocks' 2019 recruiting class came in and saw inconsistent playing time over his two seasons in Columbia.

Hannibal played in 46 games over his career with no starts, averaging 14.4 minutes per game for his career.

This season he averaged six points, 3.2 rebounds, two assists and 2.1 turnovers in 16.6 minutes per game. He missed one game this year, at Mississippi State, with Frank Martin saying at the time he gave Hannibal the day off.

Hannibal, who is originally from Hartsville, was a four-star prospect.

This news comes two days after Keyshawn Bryant announced his decision to declare for the NBA draft while not hiring an agent, leaving the door open for his return.
