According to GamecockCentral and a report in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the South Carolina Gamecocks have found their next defensive line coach in current Razorbacks assistant John Scott Jr.
Scott will replace Lance Thompson, although the program has not yet announced Thompson’s departure.
Scott, who hails from Greer and played his college ball at Western Carolina, has been at Arkansas for the past two years under both former head coach Bret Bielema and new coach Chad Morris. Prior to working with the Hawgs, Scott was in the NFL with the New York Jets, first in a defensive quality control role and then receiving a promotion to assistant defensive line coach.
