Recruitment

Talley wasn’t heavily recruited by FBS programs, but started his college career at FCS Gardner-Webb, where as a freshman he was the team’s second leading rusher. After transferring to South Carolina in January 2014, he walked onto the football team, then was awarded a scholarship before the 2015 season.

College Career

Talley ran for 276 yards and three touchdowns in his lone season with the Runnin’ Bulldogs in 2013. Last season, his first as a Gamecocks scholarship player, he saw very limited action, only carring the ball a pair of times.
