South Carolina State University has appointed K.J. Black as the Bulldogs' new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, adding fresh leadership to the football program's coaching staff.

The announcement marks a significant addition to South Carolina State's football operations as the Orangeburg-based institution continues to build its athletic program. Black will oversee the Bulldogs' offensive strategy while also working directly with the quarterback position group.

The hiring represents South Carolina State's commitment to strengthening its football program through strategic coaching appointments. As offensive coordinator, Black will be responsible for developing game plans, calling plays, and coordinating the overall offensive scheme for the Bulldogs.

In his dual role as quarterbacks coach, Black will work closely with the signal-callers on the roster, focusing on their development both on and off the field.
