Clemson has added a veteran offensive coach to its staff.

Longtime assistant coach Lonnie Galloway announced his presence on Clemson's staff Thursday as an offensive analyst, coming most recently from UNC.

Galloway was the assistant head coach/passing game coordinator/WRs coach for UNC under Mack Brown this past season, but Brown's successor Bill Belichick announced Garrick McGee for the WR coach role recently in Chapel Hill.

Galloway came to UNC after serving as co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at Louisville for three seasons from 2016-18. He has also made stops at Elon (1996-02), East Carolina (2003-04), Appalachian State (2005-07), West Virginia (2008-10, 2013-15), and Wake Forest (2011-12).

With Wake and Louisville ties, Galloway found himself in the middle of the 'Wakeyleaks' scandal and was suspended for it, passing along info shared from a Wake Forest broadcaster to his Cardinals coaching staff.
