FAYETTEVILLE — South Florida has hired Arkansas’ head football strength and conditioning coach.
Trumain Carroll, who has spent the past two seasons with the Razorbacks, was officially announced as the Bulls’ director of strength and conditioning Friday. At USF, Carroll will work for first-year head coach Jeff Scott, who previously was co-offensive coordinator at Clemson.
At Clemson, Scott worked with former Arkansas head coach Chad Morris, who first hired Carroll as strength coach at SMU in 2015, then brought Carroll with him to Arkansas in 2017. Morris was fired as the Razorbacks’ coach in November.
"I'm very excited to add Trumain Carroll to our staff at USF," Scott said in a statement. "Our strength and conditioning staff spend a great deal of time with our student-athletes, so it was very important to get the right person to lead that effort. Trumain has a track record of developing players and preparing them for success and will be an excellent coach and mentor for the young men in our program."
Carroll signed a three-year contract with Arkansas in January 2018 that paid him $290,000 per year.
Arkansas coach Sam Pittman is expected to name a new strength and conditioning coach by the first week of January to prepare for winter conditioning.
