USC’s face of the future is 27 and is bringing NFL mindset to Gamecocks’ recruiting

South Carolina football moved into a new operations building this month. The Gamecocks and much of the rest of the Power 5 in college football have been moving into a new era for years now.

As college programs take the next step toward mimicking NFL teams, Matt Lindsey is the face of a new era at USC. Lindsey, a 27-year-old who was born the same year USC head coach Will Muschamp was a freshman in college, is the Gamecocks’ director of player personnel.

Lindsey is the first player personnel director in South Carolina football history.

In fact, this month he was named the national player personnel director of the year by FootballScoop.
