South Carolina Football QB Spencer Rattler Signs NIL Deal

The South Carolina football team picked up a huge commitment in the transfer portal earlier this offseason with the addition of five-star signal caller Spencer Rattler.

Rattler, who’d previously been at Oklahoma, was considered a Heisman candidate at the start of last season before ultimately opting to leave the Sooners’ program. As a sophomore, the gunslinger tossed 11 touchdowns and threw for nearly 1,500 yards to lead the team to a perfect 5-0 start.

He was benched midway through the Sooners’ matchup with Texas in lieu of freshman Caleb Williams and played sparingly throughout the remainder of the season.

Now, he joins a South Carolina program in need of help at the quarterback position. The Gamecocks started four different players under center last year with two of them now off to new locations. Jason Brown has since transferred to Virginia Tech while Zeb Noland has exhausted his eligibility.

Rattler figures to be a huge part of the offense moving forward as the quarterback competition appears to be his for the taking. His commitment sent shockwaves throughout the world of college football, resulting in a ton of positive publicity for the Gamecocks.

Rattler is now making himself at home in Columbia while also setting himself up for the future.

Rattler has signed with the platform to a multi-month content agreement, meaning he’ll partner with the Garnet Trust to provide social media appearances, endorsements, exclusive interviews, and in-person meetings with supporters.

With the deal, Rattler is further enveloping himself in both the program and the community in Columbia.
