South Carolina Gamecocks Tight End Nick Muse made its decision on 2021.
On Monday night, Muse tweeted that he would be back in South Carolina for a third season. He started his career at William & Mary before transferring in the summer of 2019.
Muse wrote on a chart posted on Twitter: “There is a great opportunity here at USC. I believe what Coach Beamer is bringing to the program and I want to be a part of it. That is why I will be back for my extra year of eligibility.

The decision to be back in 2021 makes Muse the most returnable player in the game. He ended the 2020 season with 30 receptions for 425 yards and a touchdown.
