South Carolina redshirt junior offensive lineman Summie Carlay may be on the move. Carlay has reportedly entered his name in the transfer portal as he looks to evaluate his potential grad transfer options.
By entering the transfer portal, Carlay is free to have communication with any other college football program looking to add some depth or fill a need on their offensive line. Carlay may pull his name from the transfer portal and remain at South Carolina if he desires. Such a move is not unprecedented, but most players adding their name to the transfer portal do typically move on to a new school when a final decision is made.
Carlay enrolled at South Carolina as an early-enrollee in the Class of 2017. Since his arrival on campus, Carlay has earned SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll accolades each of the past three seasons. Carlay redshirted his freshman season with the Gamecocks in 2017 and did not see any game action in 2018. Carlay took on a special teams role in 2019, mostly on extra point and field goal formations, and appeared in all 12 games South Carolina played.
Carlay will have two years of eligibility at his disposal. As a graduate transfer, Carlay will be eligible to play right away for the 2020 season.
