Shane Beamer is preparing for 2026 and beyond with the South Carolina Gamecocks following the team's 31-30 loss to the No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday afternoon.

Going into the game, South Carolina had a 3-6 record. Bowl eligibility was still in reach as it required three straight wins to end the regular season. However, the loss ended the program's bid for a bowl game as they will have to regroup for next season.

Beamer reflected on the loss after the game, per reporter Jordan Kaye. It was there where he revealed that he spoke to his players about returning to the Gamecocks for next season, which there happens to be a significant number of them.

“Shane Beamer said he's had a lot of good conversations with South Carolina players about returning to Columbia in 2026,” Kaye wrote.
