Rice transfer J.T. Ibe opened the 2018 season as a starter for South Carolina football before a knee injury sidelined him after four games.
The senior safety will reportedly get another season in garnet and black.
Ibe retweeted news he got a sixth season the school had applied to the NCAA for. The news had been reported earlier in the night by GamecockCentral and The Big Spur.
The hard-hitting graduate transfer found his way into the starting lineup early in the season, as USC tried to find a consistent presence at safety.
