According to a release from South Carolina Athletics, Oklahoma Sooners assistant head coach Shane Beamer has been named the next head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks. The news was first reported Saturday evening by Bruce Feldman.
Since 2018, Beamer has been in charge of the tight ends and H-backs, which is a position group that is currently in a very healthy spot at Oklahoma. Additionally, he’s played a huge role in OU’s improvement on special teams — an area that was always a trademark of his famous father, Frank Beamer.
