South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp calls offensive line coach Eric Wolford “very demanding,” but Gamecocks fans can’t tell from Wolford’s professorial approach on game days.
“He doesn’t yell and scream on game day. He gets that out during the week,” senior offensive lineman Blake Camper explained.
Wolford’s approach has worked this year for the Gamecocks offensive line, the one unit on the team to consistently draw praise from Muschamp despite juggling its lineup throughout the season. He was announced Wednesday as candidate for the Broyles Award, given each year to the nation’s top assistant coach.
Wolford, who was Youngstown State’s head coach from 2010-2014, joined South Carolina’s staff in 2017, replacing Shawn Elliott.
