Two South Carolina Gamecocks assistant coaches are on the move.

TheBigSpur's Tony Morrell is reporting that Thomas Brown is off to the NFL, where he'll coach former Georgia running back Todd Gurley, who now plays for the Los Angeles Rams. Defensive line coach John Scott Jr. is leaving for Penn State. Scott was previously linked to the staff at State College. He'll reunite with Brent Pry, his former position coach at Western Carolina.

Bruce Feldman was first to report the news on Brown.

Brown and Scott, both of whom were around for only one season, join Coleman Hutzler and quarterbacks coach Dan Werner as the departures from Will Muschamp's 2019 coaching staff. Hutzler is now working as an assistant at Texas. Werner was not retained.

Brown spent the previous three seasons as offensive coordinator and running backs coach at Miami. His prior stops include Georgia, Wisconsin, Marshall and UT-Chattanooga. After a standout career at Georgia, Brown was a sixth-round draft pick by the Atlanta Falcons in 2008. He spent the 2009 season on the Cleveland Browns' roster.

Scott and Pry first crossed paths at Western Carolina, where Pry was Scott’s position coach for his final two seasons of college ball. In 2002, while Pry was defensive coordinator at Louisiana-Lafayette, Scott worked as a graduate assistant. Pry hired Scott in 2010, during his only season as defensive coordinator at Georgia Southern.

Last fall, Brown's top two running backs, Tavien Feaster and Rico Dowdle, combined to rush for 1,170 yards and nine touchdowns. On the recruiting trail, Brown was instrumental in helping South Carolina land 4-star running back MarShawn Lloyd, who enrolled in January. The Gamecocks also signed 3-star Rashad Amos and junior college All-American Zaquandre White.

On the field, Scott coached Javon Kinlaw, who enjoyed his most productive season of his South Carolina career. Now, the former Gamecock defensive tackle is projected to be selected in the first-round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Scott helped reel in 4-star defensive tackles Alex Huntley and Tonka Hemingway and 3-star defensive tackle Makius Scott.
