Notre Dame Football: A comprehensive list of South Carolina players OUT of the Gator Bowl

We’ve seen many players from around the country opt out of the bowl game either because of the NFL Draft or because they entered the transfer portal. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish were not immune to this move by some of their own players, as they too saw some opt outs as well — just nothing in terms of numbers as the South Carolina Gamecocks have over the course of the last few weeks.
