South Carolina freshman offensive lineman Kam Pringle was part of a ballyhooed group of lineman recruits with Josiah Thompson and Blake Franks.

Pringle is breaking up the group and expected to enter the transfer portal. The listed 6-foot-8, 336-pounder played six snaps in one game against Akron this season at guard.

Pringle was a Rivals.com four-star prospect, who was ranked No. 3 overall in South Carolina and No. 17 tackle nationally in the class of 2024 coming out of Woodland High in Dorchester, S.C.

Pringle had the who’s who of college football offer him. He narrowed his list down to Clemson, Florida, Georgia, NC State, Tennessee and South Carolina, and he picked the Gamecocks on Jan. 22, 2023, which was his mother’s birthday.

Pringle was named the Class 2A Lower State Defensive Lineman of the Year by the South Carolina Football Coaches Association, along with making the 2A all-state him. He was named an Under Armour All-American and selected to the Shrine Bowl.
