QB Spencer Rattler, who was among preseason favorites for this year’s Heisman Trophy before his career with the Sooners tilted, announced Monday night he’ll be joining Shane Beamer’s South Carolina football program. Rattler will be joined by fellow former Oklahoma tight end Austin Stogner, a former four-star who finished his sophomore season in 2020 as a second-team All-Big 12 selection.
Twitter exploded with the late breaking news, with national pundits, Gamecock coaches, current and former Gamecocks sharing their thoughts about Rattler’s decision. “So South Carolina could go from having to start a GA at QB in 2021 to starting last summer’s preseason Heisman favorite in 2022,” The Athletic’s Stewart Mandel tweeted.
“After a strong debut under Shane Beamer, South Carolina football just got a lot more interesting,” Yahoo Sports national reporter Pete Thamel tweeted. “We talked about this on the show this morning…..
If there was a time to disrupt the power balance in the state of South Carolina, the time is now. Dunk on em, @CoachSBeamer,” SEC Network host Peter Burns tweeted. “Oh we lit lit,” former South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore tweeted in reply to Rattler’s announcement. “Haven’t had this much fun on Twitter since our last rain delay.
Go Cocks!!” former Gamecock baseball player and current Kansas City Royal Whit Merrifield tweeted. “If this is a program on “life support” I can wait to be dead. #SpursUp,” South Carolina director of player personnel Taylor Edwards tweeted.
