South Carolina<\/a> has landed its first commitment from the NCAA Transfer Portal as former Oklahoma<\/a> wide receiver Jayden Gibson<\/a>\u00a0has announced his pledge.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-5, 197-pound Gibson visited South Carolina on Saturday. Gibson makes his way to the Gamecocks\u00a0after spending the last four seasons at Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Gibson played in nine games, primarily on special teams, while recording one catch for 12 yards. In 2023, Gibson took a big step forward as he logged 375 yards and five touchdowns on 14 receptions. In his 2023 campaign, Gibson caught two passes for 50 yards against Iowa State<\/a>, two passes for 82 yards against BYU<\/a> and two passes for 76 yards against TCU.<\/p>\n

However, the former four-star wideout missed the 2024 season due to a knee injury. Gibson then experienced a setback in the spring as he also missed the 2025 season and departed the program in October.<\/p>\n
