Brandon Cisse, a defensive back from North Carolina State, has officially announced his transfer to South Carolina. Although the transfer portal window has closed for players to enter, the Gamecocks are still making moves to bolster their roster for the 2025 season. Cisse’s decision to join South Carolina marks a significant addition to their defensive backfield.
Cisse has spent the last two seasons with the North Carolina State Wolfpack, where he established himself as a solid contributor on defense. Over the course of his time at NC State, he recorded 38 total tackles, one interception, and two tackles for loss. These stats highlight his ability to impact the game both in the air and against the run.
As he heads into his junior season in 2025, Cisse will look to continue his development at South Carolina. His previous experience in the ACC will bring valuable depth and maturity to the Gamecocks’ defensive secondary, helping to fortify their defensive unit for the upcoming season.
Coming out of high school, Cisse was ranked as a three-star recruit in the 2023 recruiting class. He was one of the top-10 players in South Carolina, making him a highly regarded prospect in his home state. Now, Cisse will return to his roots as he joins South Carolina for his next chapter in college football.
This transfer is part of a broader trend for the Gamecocks as they continue to make strategic additions to their roster. With Cisse’s experience and talent, South Carolina hopes to strengthen its defense and compete at a high level in the upcoming season.
