  • Updated Dec. 13, 2025, South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers is expected to return for the 2026 season and is finalizing a deal to play his redshirt junior season.
  • After a down 2025 season and coaching changes, Sellers weighed declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft or entering the transfer portal before choosing to stay.
  • Sellers was voted a team captain and posted 2,437 passing yards, 13 passing TDs, 270 rushing yards, five rushing TDs, with sacks allowed rising from 33 to 42 this year.
  • Momentum for Sellers' return grew days after Beamer filled three offensive vacancies, hiring Kendal Briles, Randy Clements and Stan Drayton, with Briles' system expected to boost Sellers' 2026 numbers.
  • Mel Kiper ranks Sellers among his 2026 top-10 QB prospects and notes portal interest on Jan. 2; The Greenville News' revenue-sharing records requests were denied citing FERPA despite a $20.5 million cap per school in 2025-26.
