Jacksonville State starting offensive lineman to enter NCAA transfer portal

A starter on last year’s Jacksonville State offensive line is set to play for a new team next season.

Daveion Harley announced his intentions to enter the NCAA transfer portal on Monday, four days after Jax State’s spring game on Thursday.

The 6-foot-2, 305-pound transfer will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Last season saw Harley start the final eight games at center for the Gamecocks following an injury to Brock Robey, who started the first five games after a season-ending knee injury.

The native of Havana, Fla., played at left guard his freshman season with the Gamecocks.

Harley helped lead one of the top rushing attacks in the country last season in running back Tre Stewart (1,604 rushing yards, 23 touchdowns) and quarterback Tyler Huff (1,343 rushing yards, 14 touchdowns).

As a prospect out of Gadsden County High School, he picked Jax State over offers from Florida, Maryland, Florida Atlantic and Shorter.
