According to Palmer Thombs of On3, Paul joined the transfer site on April 16 after playing with the Bulldogs for the previous two seasons.
When former Georgia Bulldogs running back Andrew Paul selected the second-year Conference USA programme as his future home on Friday, Rich Rodriguez and his Jacksonville State Gamecocks made a big haul through the post-spring transfer portal.
He sustained a knee injury during the 2022 preseason, forcing him to redshirt his true freshman year. Paul saw seven action as a reserve for the Bulldogs in the 2023 season, logging 29 total carries for 129 yards and a touchdown.
De inwoner van Dallas, Texas, ging naar Parish Episcopal School. Volgens On3’s Industry Rankings for the 2022 recruiting cycle, was hij de No. 429 overall prospect, de No. 67 recruit in de staat en de No. 33 running back recruit.
The Gamecocks finished in 2023 9-4 overall with a 6-2 conference record, which placed the team third in their first year as a Conference USA player.
In addition, the Gamecocks won the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns 34-31 in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl in 2023 following the program’s involvement in the NCAA’s mandated transition year, which prevented programs in their first two years of FBS competition from getting bowl game invitations postseason.
Coach Rich Rodriguez of the Gamecocks hopes to improve on his team’s performance from the previous season by adding Paul, who might be a dangerous weapon in the backfield.
