South Carolina sophomore Korey Banks, who spent his Gamecocks career bouncing between wide receiver and defensive back, has left the program and will transfer.
He confirmed the news first reported by GamecockCentral.
Banks was working with the team’s defensive backs this season but had played sparingly. He had one tackle in the first six games.
South Carolina (3-3 overall, 2-3 SEC) has an open date on Saturday. The Gamecocks will return to action Oct. 27 against Tennessee (3-3, 1-2) in Williams-Brice Stadium.
Banks, 5-foot-11, 191 pounds, signed with South Carolina out of Sandy Creek High School in Tyrone, Ga.
