Santa Claus dropped off some early Christmas presents for Gamecocks football on Wednesday night as South Carolina signed two more players out of the transfer portal.
The first gift was Kentucky transfer tight end Jordan Dingle (6-4, 242). The Bowling Green, Ky., native, who was born in Manning, caught 43 passes for 615 yards and four touchdowns over four seasons with the Wildcats. He set a career high for receptions (20) in 2022, when he also had three touchdown grabs. He had a career-best 270 yards in 2023.

Dingle becomes the second tight end in the 2025 class joining Hammond product Mike Tyler. He played in only four games in 2021, then played three full seasons with the Wildcats, so he'll have one season of eligibility in Columbia.
Shortly after Dingle announced his plans to join USC, the Gamecocks landed Texas A&M transfer defensive tackle Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy (6-3, 310).
Brownlow-Dindy committed to Texas A&M in its 2022 class. He was a highly regarded prospect coming out of Lakeland, Fla., but didn't see the field much in College Station. He appeared in eight contests in his three seasons with the Aggies, compiling four tackles, three tackles for loss, and a half-sack.
He gives the Gamecocks three defensive tackles in the 2025 class, which now counts 29 newcomers. Brownlow-Dindy should have at least two seasons of eligibility with the Gamecocks considering he redshirted his first season at Texas A&M and then played in the next two seasons.
