Former South Carolina quarterback Dante Reno is headed North. The rising redshirt freshman told GamecockCentral that he’s committed to play at Yale.

Dante will play for his father Tony, who has been the head coach of the Bulldogs since 2012.

Redshirting in his lone season at South Carolina, Reno’s only appearance in a game in 2024 came in Week 4 against Akron. He had no pass attempts this season and still has four years of eligibility remaining.

The Cheshire (Conn.) Academy graduate joined the Gamecocks program as part of their 2024 recruiting class. He was rated as the No.34 quarterback in the country, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. Considered a three-star prospect, he competed at the 2023 Elite 11 Finals.

Following his departure from South Carolina, Reno told GamecockCentral, “Gamecock Nation, thank you for everything. This wasn’t an easy decision. South Carolina is a special place, and it’s because of the people. That will never change.”
