Spencer Rattler speaks on return to South Carolina: ‘I love it here’
After a deliberate and in-depth decision-making process, Spencer Rattler is officially back at the reins of the South Carolina football offense.
The former five-star quarterback who transferred to South Carolina last offseason from Oklahoma was once assumed to be a one-and-done player in Columbia.
But feeling he has more to prove and finding a comfort level with Shane Beamer’s program, Rattler announced on Tuesday night with a Wolf of Wall Street “I’m not leaving” video that he’s back for the 2023 season.
“It definitely feels great to be back,” Rattler said Wednesday in an exclusive Garnet Trust interview with Gamecock Central‘s Chris Clark. “Coach Beamer and Coach (Dowell) Loggains and what they’ve been talking about, our goals this upcoming season, Juice (Wells) coming back, and a lot of other key parts coming back. I’m super excited. It’s definitely a blessing being here, I love it here, the fans are great, everything is great, so it was a good decision.”
Rattler, who finished his first season at South Carolina with 3,012 yards while completing 112 of 273 passes, ended the regular season with an open mind about returning to Columbia.
He first made the decision to play in South Carolina’s bowl game at the end of the year before carefully weighing the pros and cons of a return vs. making the jump to the NFL.
