The transfer portal may be closed to new entries, but South Carolina’s offensive line overhaul was not complete.

The Gamecocks added yet another transfer in the trenches Monday when Missouri State transfer OL Ebubedike Nnabugwu committed to South Carolina, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

The 6-foot-3, 305-pounder who began his career at Delaware State has two years of eligibility remaining.
