The South Carolina Gamecocks continue to aggressively shape their 2026 roster, adding Purdue offensive lineman Hank Purvis as the latest transfer portal commitment. Purvis’ decision to join the Gamecocks comes shortly after fellow interior lineman Carter Miller committed from UCF, giving South Carolina two new offensive line reinforcements in the early days of portal activity.
Purvis is a 6-foot-5, 360-pound guard that will bring Big Ten experience to Columbia after appearing in 10 games for the Purdue Boilermakers, starting all final six matchups of the 2025 season. Ranked among the top interior offensive linemen in the portal cycle, Purvis adds both size and versatility to a Gamecocks unit that has struggled with depth and consistency up front.
