In a surprise announcement Saturday night, USC starting middle linebacker Stone Blanton announced on social media that he has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. Blanton came to USC from Mississippi as a football/baseball athlete but focused totally on football in his two seasons with the Gamecocks.
Blanton played in 24 of a possible 25 games starting all 12 games this season. He finished his USC career with 59 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack. He also picked off a pass this season against Jacksonville State and returned it 88 yards for a touchdown. He was fifth on the team in tackles this season with 52
Blanton becomes the 19th Gamecock to enter the Portal since the end of the season. Five others have announced for the NFL Draft. He’s the first defensive starter to leave the program via the Portal.
What might be the reason for leaving?
If you don’t want to be here leave
Don’t be shocked if he ends up at Ole Miss. Tampering alive and well down there.
Tampering with FSU, Ole Miss, LSU. All the same corrupt programs.
All the same. FSU. Ole Miss, LSU. All have a history along with Clemson of being corrupt.
Or he could just be sick of losing
Nope the previous posters are right and you are not.
