Breaking News: It’s Official – “He’s Back” South Carolina star player Travon Baugh has reached a two-year agreement worth up to $88.9 million with the university, aiming to complete what he began.

Columbia, SC – Gamecock Nation is buzzing with excitement as star offensive lineman Travon Baugh has officially announced his return to South Carolina. The standout player has agreed to a groundbreaking two-year deal worth up to $88.9 million, aiming to finish what he started in Columbia.
Baugh, a key anchor on the offensive line, has been a fan favorite for his grit, leadership, and relentless play. His decision to return instead of pursuing the NFL sends a powerful message: unfinished business remains.
“I came to South Carolina to build something special,” Baugh said. “We’re not done yet. I’m here to finish the job.”
The agreement, bolstered by NIL opportunities and performance-based incentives, marks a significant moment in college athletics and highlights the growing impact of top-tier talent choosing to stay.
Head coach Shane Beamer called Baugh’s return a “game-changer” for the program. “Travon is the heart of this team. Having him back sets the tone for everything we want to achieve.”
