South Carolina football just got a huge boost at the wide receiver position.

Wide receiver Jalen Brooks has been battling the NCAA on its ridiculous decision to deny his eligibility for the 2020 season. After the initial denial, the South Carolina coaching staff appealed the NCAA ruling, and it’s finally paid off.

On Wednesday morning, Brooks was cleared for action for the remainder of the year. It comes at a great time for the Gamecocks, who desperately need someone to step in and help Shi Smith out at the receiver position.
