The 6-foot, 190-pound South Carolina native previously played two seasons at North Carolina State. He had 27 tackles with an interception and a forced fumble as South Carolina went 4-8 to miss out on a bowl game.
In a post to the social media site X, Cisse said expressed his appreciation for playing at South Carolina, "and live out my dream of playing in my home state."
"You all showed me the right way to handle things on and off the field," Cisse wrote.
According ESPN, Cisse is projected to be a late-first round draft pick. He also earned praise for his ability in man coverage.
