FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas defensive line coach John Scott Jr. is expected to take a job at SEC rival South Carolina and be confirmed in the position today, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on Monday.
Scott has been on the Razorbacks staff for two seasons, joining tight ends coach Barry Lunney Jr. as the only holdover on-field assistants to make the transition to the Chad Morris staff last year.
The hiring was first reported by Rivals.com’s South Carolina website GamecockCentral.com.
A special-called board of trustees meeting at South Carolina will take place at 9:30 a.
