South Carolina coach Shane Beamer wasn’t afraid to add high-level, high-profile transfers to the team in his second season. The Gamecocks wrapped up spring workouts this past Saturday with ex-Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler and former Wake Forest leading rusher Christian Beal-Smith getting significant time with their new team. Beamer said he won’t ever shy away from bringing in players who can ramp up competition as Rattler and Beal-Smith have done. South Carolina also brought in transfer receivers as it utilizes the NCAA portal to improve.
