Gamecocks to lose one of its most dynamic playmakers. Defensive end Jordan Burch has entered the transfer portal, a university spokesperson has confirmed The Athletic’s Max Olson first reported the news earlier in the day.
Burch, a former five-star recruit in the 2020 class, was the second-highest-rated recruit in school history, per the 247 Sports Composite, behind only Jadeveon Clowney. The former Hammond School was slotted as the No. 8 player and No. 2 defensive tackle in his class.
He originally signed to play for Will Muschamp and USC despite a late recruiting push by LSU. He was also recruited heavily by Georgia and then-defensive coordinator Dan Lanning — who is now the head coach at Oregon. There is speculation Burch will transfer and join Lanning with the Ducks.
