BREAKING: Longtime NFL Special Teams Coordinator Officially Joins South Carolina's Staff

South Carolina's Football program officially has their new special teams coordinator in long-time NFL assistant Joe DeCamillis.

It's been a busy offseason for Shane Beamer and South Carolina's Football program, not just when it comes to replenishing their roster with talent from the transfer portal and the high school ranks, but also when it comes to the reshuffling that's taken place with their coaching staff. The Gamecocks have lost three coaches, each for different reasons: the program parted ways with RB coach Montario Hardesty and lost TE coach Jody Wright and Special Teams Coordinator Pete Lembo to head coaching gigs.

Beamer has already found his replacements for Hardesty and Wright in a sense with the hires of RB coach Marquel Blackwell and WR coach James Coley. He's now officially filled in the vacancy left by Pete Lembo as well, as the University of South Carolina's Board of Trustees officially approved a contract for long-time NFL Special Teams Coordinator Joe DeCamillis on Monday evening.
