Gamecocks running back, Giles to transfer

"Jarvis has decided he’d like to transfer so we certainly wish Jarvis the best and he'll have a release to go where he wants to," Gamecock head coach Steve Spurrier said. "Jarvis is a fine young man and we wish him the best."
The sophomore was a highly-rated speedster out of Tampa, Fla. that had many Gamecock fans excited about what he could do for the Gamecocks. However, due to a preseason injury he found himself deep down on the depth chart behind Marcus Lattimore, Brian Maddox, and Kenny Miles. Spurrier said he won’t limit where Giles can transfer, even inside the SEC.
"He can go anywhere he wants to," Spurrier said. "I don't think it's fair to limit a player if he wants to go play somewhere. He wants to go play. I encourage guys that want to enjoy college football, if it's not working out where you are and that's one of your big goals, then I encourage them to transfer and go play. Now, if graduating from your state university is important, then that's another side that may keep you here, even if you're not playing. There are all kinds of reasons in life we do things, and Jarvis wants to play."
