Pruitt will take the place of Jon Lindsey, a former Camden assistant who resigned unexpectedly at the end of December, less than seven weeks on the job.

Lindsey was hired to replace Travis Roland, a former coach in Florida whose Camden teams were 7-4 and 6-4. Roland succeeded Jeff Herron, who retired in 2023 after reaching the Class 7A semifinals.

Lindsey had been an assistant under Herron, who built Camden into a state power during his first head coaching stint there from 2000 to 2012.

Pruitt is the son of Robby Pruitt, a former Georgia coach with more than 400 career victories.
