Graduate transfer QB commits to South Carolina
The South Carolina Gamecocks recently lost quarterback Jake Bentley to a transfer to Utah; however, on Saturday, they landed a new one.
Former Colorado State quarterback Collin Hill announced that he would transfer to South Carolina joining his former head coach — and new Gamecocks offensive coordinator — Mike Bobo.
The quarterback is originally from Roebuck, South Carolina, and he was a 3-star quarterback exiting high school (Dorman). He announced his transfer on social media.

Hill has suffered three ACL (knee) injuries during his career, and he was formerly a captain on the Rams’ team. Most recently, he suffered a season-ending knee injury in September.
In 18 career games for Colorado State, the 6-5, 214-pound quarterback threw for 3,323 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 INTs. He joins Ryan Hilinski, Dakereon Joyner and incoming freshman Luke Doty in the quarterback room.
So you got Hill and Hilinski fighting for #1 and Joyner and Urich fighting for #2.
Why? We need offensive linemen and people who can tackle. Can he do either of those things?
Nice! A 3 star with 3 acl tear surgeries…were building a championship team!
Some of y’all make me ashamed to be a Gamecock fan Jesus….
He’s only coming here to basically be a player Coach and help the young guys learn the Bobo offense he knows he won’t be a starter he’s basically starting his coaching career. Also give us depth I expect this move to make Joyner a full time Skill player. Doty and Hilinski will duke it out for the starting job
But please remember…Will’s still the coach & he will meddle in every aspect of the program till it’s mixed-up…as always…sorry but the truth hurts, sometimes.
Be patient. Its coming, We will compete for a championship. Just stay positive it’s better than it looks we’ll get things going back in the right direction next season
