Scouting Report, ball placement and accuracy profile, and overall thoughts on South Carolina QB LaNorris Sellers
He didn't take the anticipated leap last year, but will he this year?
South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers entered last year’s NFL Draft cycle as a QB1 candidate for many, given his immense physical skillset.
He is 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds, has a rocket attached to his arm, and has explosive speed as a ball carrier. He is a rare, rare breed at the quarterback position who can turn negative plays into neutrals, and even explosives!
However, Sellers did not take the leap that many imagined he would take in his second season as the starting quarterback for the Gamecocks. South Carolina has since moved on from their previous offensive coordinator and has brought in Kendal Briles to run their offense.
The hope is that ridding Sellers of a far-too-structured offense and bringing in more free-flowing spread approach will take the big man’s game to a new level. Will it work? We’ll have a pretty good answer by the end of October on a quarterback who is still quite young for his graduating class.
So, is there still reason to buy into Sellers as an NFL Draft prospect, or does he enter the 2026 season with a giant red flag waving over his head? Here are my thoughts:
Typically, these scouting reports come with a live charting/film breakdown of the quarterback as well. However, with Sellers being a 2026 high-profile candidate, I have his last game of the season already broken down below

Injury History
Sellers missed one game in 2024 due to an ankle sprain suffered in Week 3 against LSU. This was a non-conference game against Akron, however, and may have been precautionary as he returned the next week against an SEC opponent.
In 2025, Sellers was knocked out of the game against Vanderbilt with a concussion. He was forced to miss the remainder of that game after the targeting call resulted in an ejection of the defensive player, but did not miss any additional time due to the concussion.
