The NCAA has placed the South Carolina football program on a one-year probation after concluding its investigation into South Carolina’s alleged impermissible off-campus contact between a former assistant coach and a recruit last year.

The NCAA investigation found that the former assistant coach made impermissible contact with the recruit off campus in May 2018. Also in the first six months of 2018, the coach, who the NCAA left anonymous, sent the high school prospect 13 text messages.

According to ESPN, that unnamed coach is former South Carolina defensive line coach Lance Thompson. He left the Gamecocks in January and now coaches the defensive line at Florida Atlantic.

Before South Carolina, Thompson’s previous SEC stops include Alabama (1999-2000; 2007-08; 2012-14), Auburn (2015), LSU (2003) and Tennessee (2009-11).

ESPN also reports that the recruit Thompson contacted against the rules was IMG Academy defensive lineman Demonte Capehart. He committed to Clemson in June 2018.

Under the negotiated agreement that South Carolina and the NCAA came to after the conclusion of the investigation, Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp will only be allowed to have off-campus contact with 10 recruits during a two-week period in December. The NCAA also fined South Carolina $10,000.

“As the head coach of the football program at the University of South Carolina, I am responsible for all facets of the program. I recognize that a violation occurred within my program and I have taken substantial corrective actions to ensure that similar instances do not continue to occur,” Muschamp said in a statement according to ESPN.
