COLUMBIA, S.C. — Back in March, Jonathan French hit a home run at Founders Park in a Clemson victory over South Carolina.

He will get a chance to hit more home runs in that venue.

French announced on Twitter that he has committed to South Carolina.

He becomes second former Clemson baseball player to transfer to the Gamecock program following the dismissal of former head coach Monte Lee. Dylan Brewer had previously announced he was coming to Columbia to play for Mark Kingston.

This past season, French hit .217 with eight home runs and 22 RBIs. He played in 44 games, starting 37. The Gamecocks are in need of an experienced catcher after the departure of Colin Burgess who last week entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.
