Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks have landed an experienced alumnus for a top personnel role on staff.
Reports, starting last night locally and stretching into today, began to share that Oregon's Darren Uscher, an alumnus of South Carolina, was being targeted for the director of player personnel opening.
This evening, South Carolina announced the hire officially.
With the Ducks, Uscher worked in personnel and recruiting as he and Dan Lanning's staff put together one of the top recruiting classes in the country.
Before joining the staff in Eugene Uscher served briefly in a GM capacity at UCLA under Chip Kelly before his departure to Ohio State.
Uscher has also led personnel departments at places like Auburn at Boise State as well.
He spent two seasons on The Plains and seven total seasons at Boise State.
