Ryan Yurachek is back in the SEC. After a season as Austin Peay’s tight ends coach, Yurachek has joined Shane Beamer’s South Carolina football staff as an offensive analyst.

It’s a homecoming of sorts for Yurachek, a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina native.

Yurachek has been in coaching since 2020. He was on staff at Arkansas for 2 seasons as a graduate assistant who worked primarily with the offensive line. Hunter Yurachek, Ryan’s father, is Arkansas’ athletic director.

Ryan Yuracheck played tight end at Marshall (2014-17), earning first-team All-Conference USA recognition in his senior season. He spent time in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders (2018, practice squad) and Dallas Cowboys (2019, offseason roster) before getting into coaching.

At Arkansas, Yurachek worked with current South Carolina assistant coaches Justin Stepp and Dowell Loggains.
