Former South Carolina football offensive lineman Cason Henry announced his intention to transfer in December. Just a couple of weeks later, he has found a new school to call home.

According to a report from On3’s Pete Nakos, Henry has committed to the Louisville Cardinals. He will join Louisville as a fifth-year senior, but pending medical redshirts, he could have multiple years left to play.

Henry earned a starting gig for South Carolina ahead of the last three seasons. However, he saw action in just six combined games in 2023 and 2025 as he dealt with injuries. He started all 13 games of 2024 at right tackle. That year, he was one of the team’s most improved players from season’s beginning to season’s end.

Henry was the top-performing overall blocker for the Gamecocks at the beginning of 2025. However, a shoulder injury ended the 6-6, 310-pound tackle’s season after just four games.

Henry was a three-star prospect back in the class of 2022 out of Walton High School in Marietta, Georgia.

The South Carolina Education Lottery offers several draw games for those aiming to win big. Here’s a look at Jan. 6, 2026, results for each game:

Just behind Charleston city hall sits Washington Square Park with its wrought iron gates, live oaks, and a smattering of Spanish moss. This was the city’s official square until 1881.

It’s also the backdrop of former, longtime Charleston Mayor Joe Riley’s new memoir, “Windows on Washington Square,” released Jan. 6^th by Evening Post Books.

In a press release, the publisher promises a “rare, first-person account of how Charleston became the city we recognize today.”

Riley was 32 when he first took office on Dec. 15^th, 1975. He’d told his wife he’d run for just one term.

But 10 terms later, a total of 40 years, Riley became one of the nation’s longest serving mayors.

He not only helped build the now bustling city but held its hand during intense periods of pain.

Riley’s memoir offers insight into some of Charleston darkest moments; the horror of Hurricane Hugo and the immeasurable grief following the hate-fueled massacre at Mother Emanuel AME Church.

The publisher says the memoir is revealing in “how a city holds itself together when the world is watching.”

The book also shares private moments with Riley’s two sons and his wife Charlotte, a steadfast confidant.

“He’s one of a kind,” said former Columbia Mayor Stephen Benjamin in a statement. “He is the gold standard that so many of us desired to be measured against.”

An official book launch event will be held at the Dock Street Theater later this month.

Now 82, Riley stepped down from office in January of 2016.
