Lewisville defensive tackle Josh Belk spurned South Carolina the first time around in his recruiting process.
He'll still spend his first fall on a college campus in Columbia.
Belk announced he's joining South Carolina football Friday night, weeks after departing from rival Clemson. The four-star defensive tackle enrolled early with the Tigers, went through spring and will now have to sit out the 2018 season as a transfer.
Belk was a four-star prospect, ranked No. 102 in the final 247 Composite rankings for 2018, seventh among defensive tackles and second in the state. South Carolina was recruiting him hard through 2016 before he suddenly committed to the Tigers in late January of 2017.
