South Carolina zeroing in on next athletics director?

The University of South Carolina is close to hiring TCU’s Jeremiah Donati as the school’s next athletics director, multiple reports indicate.

GamecockCentral.com shared earlier on Wednesday that Donati was being targeted by USC for the post.

FootballScoop.com, as well as ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, and Brett McMurphy of Action Network have reported that South Carolina is working toward hiring Donati.

The school has a scheduled Board of Trustees meeting today, but sources tell GamecockCentral.com that the meeting is to address an unrelated contractual matter.

While the timing on finalizing an expected hire of Donati is unclear, the search for Ray Tanner’s replacement is winding down in Columbia.

A former general counsel and director of player representation for Leigh Steinberg Sports and Entertainment, Donati has been in his post as AD at TCU since December 2017.
