Connor Mitch to Transfer: What Happened?

Connor Mitch's journey to South Carolina ultimately started with Stephen Garcia. A talented four-star quarterback with a troubled mind, it was Garcia who helped pilot South Carolina to the wins needed to re-establish a place in the national conversation. After a string of winning seasons, recruiting started to become a deciding factor for our success, luring in talented players such as Marcus Lattimore, Devin Taylor, Jadeveon Clowney, and Connor Shaw. Following Stephen Garcia's dismissal from the program, Shaw took the reigns and led us to several extremely successful campaigns, finishing in the Top 10 each year he was the starter.
