Transfer QB Dante Reno to play for father at Yale

Former South Carolina quarterback Dante Reno is transferring to Yale to play for his father, longtime Bulldogs head coach Tony Reno.
Dante Reno was a three-star prospect in the Class of 2024 out of Cheshire (Conn.) Academy, where he was an Under Armour All-American and an Elite 11 finalist.
Dante Reno made a brief appearance in one game for the Gamecocks last season and took his redshirt, entering the transfer portal after spring practice at South Carolina.
He has four years of eligibility remaining.
“It means everything,” the 6-foot-2, 214-pound Reno told 247Sports about his choice of Yale and his father. “It’s a great opportunity to be close to home and play in front of him and my family.”
Tony Reno has coached at Yale since 2012 and has a 74-46 record. His teams have won four of the past seven Ivy League championships (2017, 2019, 2022, and 2023).
“My dad’s a proven winner,” the younger Reno said. “Won four championships and puts guys in the NFL, and gets guys drafted. I’m super excited to compete.”
The Bulldogs, who compete at the FCS level, finished last season with a 7-3 record (4-3 Ivy League).
