South Carolina Football's New NFL-Style Practices

0:00On March 18, South Carolina's football team is rolling out big changes after a four-win eight-law season in 2025. Coach Shane Beamer has already hired five new coordinators and position coaches, added 37 transfers and early freshmen, and now introduced a fresh practice setup during spring sessions. The new approach mimics NFL minicamps, starting slow with individual drills, before building to one-on-one match-ups, seven-on-seven passing, and full teamwork. This ramps up gradually over the week, avoiding early heavy contact to protect players. Players like defensive back-geral kill-gore say it's smarter, keeping everyone healthier while sharpening mental focus on plays and signals. Sophomore receiver Jaden Sellers agrees, noting it helps the offense get comfortable faster without rushing into chaos. This fits into Beamer's broader overhaul as the game-conks wrap up their second week of spring practices, with 11 more sessions ahead to test the format. Early feedback shows the team embracing this shift, setting them up for better prep
