South Carolina Tight End Transfer Connor Cox has Cancelled his Visit to NC State

Last Thursday, South Carolina Tight End Connor Cox (6’6″/242) told me last Thursday that he was planning on taking an Official Visit to NC State early this week.

Cox confirmed with me this morning that he has cancelled his Official Visit to NC State, and doesn’t have plans to reschedule.

Cox cancelled his visit to schedule a visit to UNC, which is a little salt in the wound. He has already taken an Official Visit to Kansas.

He played in 5 games as a True Freshman in 2023, logging 21 snaps at Tight End, and 20 snaps on Special Teams. He didn’t record any stats.

This year, Cox played in 4 games, logging 19 snaps at Tight End, and 3 snaps on Special Teams.

Even though he played limited snaps this season, Cox’s PFF grade was 72.6.

ON3 currently ranks him as the #45 Tight End in the Transfer Portal.

Since he only played in 4 games this season, Cox was able to redshirt this season, giving him 3 years of eligibility remaining.

Coming out of High School, Cox was a 3-star prospect in the Gamecocks’ 2023 recruiting class out of Jacksonville, Florida. ESPN ranked him as the #25 Tight End in the 2023 class.
