Williams eyes transfer to Columbia

South Carolina is set to land North Carolina transfer Ty'Son Williams, GamecockCentral.com has confirmed. The transfer is contingent on Williams' admission to the university, which has not been completed as of this writing.

The Sumter (South Carolina) Crestwood product signed with North Carolina in the 2015 class after carrying offers from Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, and others. He saw the field as a true freshman in Chapel Hill, rushing 19 times for 57 yards and also catching one pass.

It's believed that North Carolina is unlikely to give Williams a release to transfer to USC; the two teams meet in Charlotte in 2019 for a neutral site contest. That would require Williams to walk on to the program and earn a scholarship at a later date. Williams would also have to sit out his initial season in Columbia per NCAA transfer rules.
