A member of Will Muschamp‘s first recruiting class at South Carolina has decided to ply his football wares at an undetermined elsewhere.
Wednesday night on Twitter, Pika Leota tweeted that, "[w]ith lots of prayer and talk with my family,” he has decided to transfer from the Gamecocks. “I believe I will find my perfect fit at another school,” the offensive lineman added.

Leota was a three-star 2016 signee for the Gamecocks, and was the highest-rated offensive lineman in USC’s class that year. He held offers from, among others, Boston College, Duke, North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest.
As a true freshman last season, Leota took a redshirt.
