Wednesday morning, to play for Will Muschamp.
Jake’s father, Bobby, is the Gamecocks’ running backs coach. Bobby Bentley spent the past three years at Auburn, serving as an offensive analyst for Gus Malzahn. Considered a coaching legend in the high school ranks in South Carolina, the elder Bentley has a proven knack for coaching successful prep football teams.
As coach at Duncan (S.C.) Byrnes, Bobby Bentley was 119-54 and won four state championships in a row (2002-05). Impressive stuff, to say the least. Like his long-time friend and former boss, Gus Malzahn, Bentley seemingly was destined to try his hand at the next level.
