South Carolina athlete Lorenzo Nunez transfers

Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Lorenzo Nunez has decided to transfer, coach Will Muschamp announced Sunday.

Nunez came to South Carolina as a four-star quarterback, but was transitioned out of the position this offseason.

“He wants to play quarterback,” Muschamp said.

“I’m disappointed,” Muschamp said. “I thought he could help our football team moving forward. But I want him to be happy. He’s done a lot for South Carolina. We’re trying to help him right now.”

Nunez threw for 376 yards and ran for 375 yards as a quarterback before moving to receiver. He dressed out for most games this season, but never saw the field as the plan was for him to redshirt.
