The Gamecocks quarterback, who just wrapped up his 1st year in Columbia after transferring from Oklahoma, posted the news on his Twitter account with the help of actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Sort of.

Rattler threw for 3,012 yards in 2022 while completing 66.2 percent of his passes, totaling 18 touchdowns vs. 12 interceptions. He also recorded 3 touchdowns on the ground.
While Rattler had a shaky season, he had a memorable final 2 games of the regular season as the Gamecocks defeated Tennessee and Clemson in consecutive weeks. Against the Volunteers, he had a career night, going 30-of-37 for 438 yards and 6 touchdowns, while throwing for 360 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Tigers despite throwing a pair of picks. The win over Clemson snapped the Tigers’ 40-game win streak at Memorial Stadium and ended the Gamecocks’ 7-game losing streak in the series.
Now, Rattler will return in 2023 as the Gamecocks look to improve on their 8-5 mark.
