Ex- Alabama football linebacker Justin Okoronkwo will stay in the SEC and transfer to South Carolina, he shared to social media Friday. That means the Crimson Tide will have a chance to face Okoronkwo this fall when Alabama plays the Gamecocks on Oct. 25 in Columbia, South Carolina.

South Carolina has taken another former SEC player out of the transfer portal. On Friday morning, Alabama transfer linebacker Justin Okoronkwo announced a commitment to South Carolina, joining Florida State linebacker Shawn Murphy as the second transfer linebacker to commit to the Gamecocks this offseason.

An official transfer decision for Alabama Crimson Tide linebacker Jeremiah Alexander was made Wednesday morning, as the former highly-touted high school prospect announced his commitment to the Clemson Tigers.
