COLUMBIA — South Carolina head football coach Will Muschamp has completed his on-field coaching staff by naming Mike Peterson as the Gamecocks’ outside linebackers coach, USC announced Tuesday.
Peterson, 39, comes to South Carolina from the University of Florida where he served as a strength and conditioning coordinator, a position he held since retiring from a 14-year NFL playing career.
“Mike’s another great example for our student-athletes at the University of South Carolina for what he’s accomplished,” Muschamp said. “He played at a high level and demonstrated great character and class throughout the time that we worked together at Florida.
