South Carolina is reaching into the FCS ranks to fill bring on a new analyst.
Ryan Yuracheck, a former NFL player and the son of Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek, will be an offensive analyst for the Gamecocks, FootballScoop reported.
Yuracheck was a first-team All-Conference USA selection at Marshall before he went on to the NFL, and signed with the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent and was on the team’s practice squad during the 2018 season. He signed with the Dallas Cowboys for the 2019 preseason before he joined the Arkansas football staff.
Yurachek, a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina native, spent last season as Austin Peay’s tight ends coach after he was on the Arkansas football staff the previous 2 seasons as a graduate assistant. At Arkansas, he worked primarily with the offensive line group.

Welcome to the Gamecock Nation....
Shane's thinking is different in hiring. He will give a sharp younger coach/analyst a chance to join the Cocks program. There are a lot of intelligent football minds out there that have not ever coached in the big time and Beamer gives them a shot. I must applaud his methods as they have worked thus far. His teams have overperformed. Go Cocks !
In Shane we trust. So far, pretty good
