South Carolina starting OL reportedly opts for transfer portal

South Carolina offensive lineman Trovon Baugh is expected to enter the transfer portal after spending the past 3 seasons with the Gamecocks. The OL is a former Freshman All-SEC selection who started 11 games in 2025.
Baugh will be one of the sought-after OL in the transfer portal. He’s 6-foot-4 with a 337-pound frame and 11 games started this past season in the SEC. With those numbers, one would expect many teams will have interest.
Baugh is originally from Atlanta, Georgia, where he came out of high school as a 3-star ranked as the 49th interior offensive lineman according to 247Sports.
Baugh will join Mac Walters and Nick Sharpe as the other Gamecock offensive linemen that have entered the portal. South Carolina currently has 8 outgoing transfers, with 3 of those being from the offensive line.
Considering quarterback LaNorris Sellers was the most sacked QB in the SEC this season, there’s clearly some dysfunction in that unit up front. In 12 games played this season, Sellers was sacked 42 times. This means that, on average, Sellers was being sacked 3.5 times per game.
Rebuilding the line up front will be crucial for a South Carolina team that will be looking to bounce back. With Sellers electing to return, keeping their quarterback upright should be the Gamecocks’ biggest priority.
