In a surprising move, South Carolina’s football program has secured a commitment from former Kentucky tight end Jordan Dingle. Dingle, who spent four seasons with the Wildcats, brings valuable experience to the Gamecocks’ offense.
**Career Highlights:**
During his tenure at Kentucky, Dingle appeared in 39 games, starting 21. He recorded 43 receptions for 615 yards and four touchdowns. Notably, in 2022, he set a career-high with 20 catches and three touchdowns. In 2023, he achieved a personal best of 270 receiving yards.
**Impact on South Carolina:**
Dingle’s addition addresses a significant need for the Gamecocks at the tight end position. His proven track record in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) is expected to enhance South Carolina’s offensive capabilities. This move also underscores the Gamecocks’ strategic approach to strengthening their roster through the transfer portal.
**Recruitment and Commitment:**
After visiting South Carolina earlier this week, Dingle made the decision to transfer, officially signing with the Gamecocks on Wednesday. His commitment is the third transfer addition for South Carolina this offseason, following defensive end Jaylen Brown from Missouri and offensive lineman Nick Sharpe from Wake Forest.
This strategic acquisition reflects South Carolina’s commitment to enhancing its roster and competitiveness within the SEC.
