UPDATE: South Carolina has confirmed Josh Belk has left the program and has chosen to give up football.

Josh Belk’s tenure in Columbia lasted longer than his time at Clemson — but that’s not saying much.

The former five-star recruit and 2018 U.S. Army All-American arrived in Columbia after initially signing with Clemson and enrolling early at the school. Belk went through spring practices with the Tigers before leaving the program for South Carolina. The Gamecocks appealed for a waiver for Belk, which was eventually granted by the NCAA, clearing the true freshman to appear in five regular season games in 2018.

It appears like five games will be all South Carolina will get out of Belk, as multiple reports claim the former five-star recruit is leaving the program. Mike Uva of WACH FOX 57 in Columbia was the first to report the news. The Spurs Up Show is also reporting news of Belk’s departure from the program.

South Carolina has yet to officially respond to this news.

Belk picked South Carolina over offers from Georgia and Tennessee during the offseason. Considering both programs could still use help on the defensive line, it wouldn’t be surprising to see either program go after the 6-foot-3, 309-pound Belk once again.
