Former four-star recruit Sherrod Pittman will transfer from South Carolina, TheBigSpur.com has learned. Pittman announced the news on his Twitter page Friday morning.

Thank you South Carolina for the experience I've recieved! ???? — I Am Sherrod Pittman (@ROLLINGHARD_9) February 3, 2017

Head coach Will Muschamp, in his press conference on Wednesday, did not mention Pittman among the group of returning linebackers.

Pittman played in three games in the 2016 season, which was his redshirt freshman year. He enrolled in January 2015 but had a long road to get back onto the field after suffering a broken femur his senior year of high school. He redshirted in 2015 but was unable to crack the rotation this past season. He was also suspended for two games for a violation of team rules.

The Gamecocks have four returning scholarship linebackers with seniors Bryson Allen-Williams and Skai Moore along with sophomores TJ Brunson and Jalen Dread. South Carolina signed four linebackers in the 2017 recruiting class.
