Wake Forest running back announces transfer destination

Going into Year Two of head coach Shane Beamer, the South Carolina Gamecocks made it a goal to rebuild the offense through the transfer portal. Landing quarterback Spencer Rattler from Oklahoma was just the start and on Monday, another weapon announced he would be heading to Columbia.

Wake Forest running back Christian Beal will be transferring to South Carolina, he announced via Twitter. He will be entering his sixth year of college football, taking advantage of the COVID-19 eligibility rule.

Beal played in 12 games this season, rushing for 604 yards and seven touchdowns. He was the team’s leading rusher and helped Wake Forest achieve an 11 win season. The Gamecocks picked up a solid piece to compliment Rattler on the pass game.

Coming out of high school, Beal was originally a member of the 2017 recruiting class. He ranked as a three-star prospect on the On3 Consensus and was the No. 68 running back in the country.
