Ready to go! NCAA makes transfer Josh Belk eligible to play for Gamecocks in 2018

South Carolina football finally got it’s answer from the NCAA.

Josh Belk will play for the Gamecocks in 2018. There’s still no work on Jamel Cook

USC had applied for waivers allowing both transfers to play in their first seasons on South Carolina’s roster. Both were four-star prospects and two big acquisitions off the offseason for Will Msuchamp’s staff.

Belk, a 6-foot-3, 360-pound defensive tackle, was a four-star prospect who started his career at Clemson in the spring but transferred to USC in the summer. He was ranked No. 102 in the final 247 composite rankings for 2018, seventh among defensive tackles and second in the state.
