Shane Beamer’s first South Carolina coaching staff has been finalized as the first-year Gamecock coach now has an offensive line coach to round out his full-time coaching staff in Columbia.
The new Gamecock offensive line coach will be former Marshall offensive line coach, Greg Adkins. This news was first reported by Chris Clark of Gamecock Central.
Adkins is, of course, the second offensive line coach hired by Beamer this offseason as South Carolina previously hired Will Friend but he left after just two weeks on the job to be Auburn’s new offensive line coach.
