South Carolina's offensive line is getting a boost from one of Wake Forest's most consistent linemen of the past two seasons.
Cory Helms, who played center and guard for the Demon Deacons, tweeted Sunday he will be transferring to play for the Gamecocks:

"I had a really good feeling today and wanted to talk to my family and stuff before I made it official," Helms told GoGamecocks.com. "I have a really good relationship with the players I was around and the recruits who were there. And it's the closest school to my home."
In his two seasons at Wake, Helms started 23 of 24 games with the only missed start coming as part of the Deacons' Senior Day honors in 2013. He was named to 247Sports' 2013 true freshman All-American team.
Helms said South Carolina allows him to be closer to an ill grandmother and that he will apply for an immediate eligibility waiver. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
