On Wednesday, South Carolina head coach Lamont Paris announced another transfer who will be joining the program for the 2026-27 season. 6-foot-6 guard Davion Hannah has signed a financial aid agreement to join the Gamecocks next season.

Paris on Hannah
“Davion has tremendous physical gifts that give him an incredibly high ceiling. He has positional size as well as length, and is a high level quick-twitched athlete that can attack and play above the rim. He has the ability to get into the paint, create for others and is also a threat from behind the 3-point arc. I believe Davion will prove to be a very versatile player on both sides of the ball when it is all said and done. We can’t wait to get to work!”
