South Carolina offensive tackle Mac Walters plans to enter the transfer portal, according to 247Sports. Walters is a fourth-year offensive lineman who works at both guard positions.
Walters appeared in 13 games over his career at South Carolina. In 2023, Walters earned the co-Scout Team Award for the offense. He won the same award in 2024 and was on the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll.
He appeared in 3 games this season and posted a 76.3 PFF grade.
Walters is the seventh player from South Carolina to announce intentions to enter the transfer portal. He joins Nick Sharpe as the only other offensive lineman to join the portal, which will officially open on Jan. 2.
The Gamecocks finished the 2025 season in second-to-last place in the SEC. They were 1-7 in SEC conference matchups and won a total of 4 games on the season. Quarterback LaNorris Sellers took a massive step backward in his development at the position. He was also the most sacked quarterback in the SEC last year. It was a year that most South Carolina fans want to forget.
Sellers is expected to return to South Carolina as the Gamecocks hope to contend for a CFP berth in 2026.
