South Carolina assistant coach steps away from team
South Carolina offensive line coach Greg Adkins has temporarily stepped away from the team due to minor health issues, per USC.
Analyst Lonnie Teasley will assume the interim offensive line coaching duties.
Adkins previously missed last year’s game against Auburn due to what head coach Shane Beamer called a “health scare.” No more details were given at the time.
“He’s fine, just a minor medical issue,” Beamer said after USC’s 50-10 win Thursday over S.C. State. “I talked to him yesterday. He’s in great spirits. Not much more to share. Medical condition that he’s taking care of that I don’t think is going to be long term. I talked to him yesterday afternoon and he told me he felt like he’d be back really. really soon.”
Adkins is in his second year on staff at South Carolina following three years at Marshall — his alma mater. He and Beamer previously overlapped on Phil Fulmer’s staff at Tennessee in the early 2000s, when Beamer was a graduate assistant for the Volunteers.
Teasley is also in the midst of his second season at South Carolina. He has past coaching stops at Delaware State, Temple, Tennessee Tech, Arkansas Pine-Bluff and North Carolina Central in addition to two years working for the Baltimore Ravens.
