South Carolina landed another depth piece in the transfer portal with the addition of ETSU Transfer TE Nate Adkins. The 6'3" 242 lb TE played 4 seasons with the Pirates notching his best receiving season in 2021, with 33 catches for 357 yards and a touchdown. He even caught an important 2-point conversion pass to seal their FCS playoff win against Kennesaw State. Adkins is also the son of Gamecock OLine coach Greg Adkins. Adkins provides much-needed depth at the TE position joining fellow transfer Austin Stogner, and returning contributors Traevon Kenion and Chad Terrell at TEs, along with do-everything "wideback" Jaheim Bell who is expected to spend some time at the position as well. The announcement came after Shane Beamer announced a #WelcomeHome on Twitter that notably was missing the #AboveAllEl23 that the staff has been using for Class of 2023 commitments. There are still 3 other #WelcomeHome's out there that are assumed to be Class of '23 commits, though they've yet to be announced.
