South Carolina sophomore defensive lineman Aaron Thompson and junior defensive back Antoine Wilder have both decided to leave the program, Gamecocks head coach Will Muschamp said Tuesday night.
Thompson, a 6-foot-3, 300-pound tackle from Fort Lauderdale High School, redshirted in 2017 and did not participate in spring practice due to a shoulder injury. A three-star prospect in high school, he also had a scholarship offer from Clemson.
Wilder, a 5-foot-10, 198-pound Georgia native, had seven tackles in eight games last year. He missed spring practice due to a shoulder injury. He was a three-star prospect in high school, where he was a teammate of one-time South Carolina commit Arden Key, who would go on to play at LSU.
