Colorado transfer RB Isaiah Augustave commits to South Carolina

Colorado transfer running back Isaiah Augustave committed to South Carolina, he announced via social media. He previously committed to Virginia out of the transfer portal before re-opening his recruitment late last month.

Augustave officially entered the transfer portal April 16 and announced his commitment to Virginia April 20. On May 21, he announced he de-committed from UVA and would be re-opening his portal recruitment.

Now, Augustave will head to South Carolina, giving Shane Beamer and Co. a major boost as the program waits for an update on Rahsul Faison’s situation. He is seeking a waiver from the NCAA and hired prominent attorney Darren Heitner to represent him.

Augustave arrived at CU last season from Arkansas and immediately became a key part of the rushing attack. He led the program with 384 rushing yards and four touchdowns as Colorado used a pass-heavy offense en route to an 8-4 overall record and Alamo Bowl appearance. He also added nine receptions for 53 yards.

Prior to his arrival in Boulder, Augustave spent one year at Arkansas as a freshman. He appeared in 11 games and made one start, totaling 202 yards and a touchdown on 35 carries. He also had 101 yards against FIU that year.

Augustave played high school football at Naples (Fla.), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 298 overall player and No. 19-ranked running back from the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

After entering the transfer portal, Isaiah Augustave came in as the No. 58-ranked running back in the On3 Industry Transfer Rankings. He will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Augustave’s commitment comes as South Carolina seeks an answer in Faison’s case for a waiver. A former JUCO transfer, he’s seeking one more year of eligibility under the provision granted to Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia and others as part of a court ruling.

Speaking on local radio late last month, Beamer said it’s still a waiting game for South Carolina. It’s still unclear when exactly a decision will come down.

“It’s unfortunate,” Beamer said on 107.5 The Game. “Every time I hear through the grapevine that we should know something in the next day or two, it never happens. And what’s today, Friday, I think Tuesday, I heard we should know something in the next couple of days. And here we are Friday and we’ve heard nothing. So nothing right now.”
