While he will be assuming the same roles he had with South Carolina, Peterson will be paid more by the GatorsĪs for Lucas, he’s spent the last six years in the NFL between the Baltimore Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lucas will be taking over for Mike Peterson, who left South Carolina to join Billy Napier’s staff at Florida.
The Gamecocks have hired Jacksonville Jaguars assistant Sterling Lucas to become their next outside linebackers coach.
The South Carolina Gamecocks and head coach Shane Beamer are looking to the NFL ranks to fill a vacancy in their coaching staff. To me, there’s no greater honor than to have the respect of your teammates, and what an honor that is for those guys to be the 2021 permanent captains here at the University of South Carolina.” So appreciate those guys being our permanent captains. So, five permanent captains and they earned it,” said Beamer. We said vote on four and the vote was so close that we weren’t going to not, you know, put the fifth guy on there, ’cause he had just as many votes as the fourth guy pretty much. It was JJ (Kingsley) Enagbare, Parker White, Jaylan Foster, Jovaughn Gwyn, and Jabari Ellis.
Beamer decided to name permanent captains for the 2021 season. Throughout the year, the title of team captain can potentially change from one player to another but at the end of the season, teams sometimes name permanent captains to represent the season as a whole. The South Carolina Gamecocks head football coach Shane Beamer utilized a unique strategy to prevent an ongoing back and forth before the start of the 2021 season.
