Former South Carolina Gamecocks linebacker Rod Wilson will be named inside linebackers coach by Will Muschamp.

TheBigSpur’s Tony Morrell confirmed the news through multiple sources on Tuesday. No official announcement has been released by the school.

Wilson previously worked as an assistant coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, where he served as an assistant special teams coach for each of the last two seasons.

TheBigSpur’s John Whittle wrote on Friday that all signs pointed to Muschamp hiring Wilson as his next inside linebackers coach. At this point, however, it’s not yet clear whether or not Wilson will also have a special teams title, in addition to this duties with the Gamecocks' inside linebackers.

Wilson, who helped the Chiefs win the Super Bowl earlier this month, coached linebackers for four seasons (2013-16) at Charleston Southern.

A seventh-round draft pick in 2005 by the Chicago Bears, Wilson played for two more teams in the league, before he retired as a Bear in 2010. He played in 51 games, 43 of which were in Chicago.

Before Wilson returned to the NFL as a coach, he briefly worked as linebackers coach at Furman, which he left to take the job in Kansas City. From his bio at Furman:

Wilson enjoyed a versatile career at the University of South Carolina, playing quarterback, wide receiver, spur, safety, and linebacker for the Gamecocks. As a senior he served as a team captain and led the squad in tackles while earning All-SEC and SEC Academic Honor Roll accolades. A native of Cross, S.C., he was a four-sport athlete at Cross High School and was named Class 1A state offensive player of the year. He was also a finalist for Mr. Football in South Carolina and served as a team captain in the 1999 Shrine Bowl.

Wilson is now the 10th assistant coach on South Carolina's staff. He’s filling a spot that was previously held by Coleman Hutzler, who’s now the co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach at Texas. Kyle Krantz is now the special teams coordinator at South Carolina.
