South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers confirmed he would return to the program in 2026. He posted a video to his social media Monday.

Having been on the team the past three seasons, Sellers has been the starting quarterback over the last two years for the Gamecocks. He has been one of the nation’s best dual-threat players in that time, as Sellers has posted 63.2% completion for 4,971 yards with 31 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, while rushing for 944 yards and a dozen more scores. That brings him to an average of 246.4 total yards per game put up by him for the offense at South Carolina.

However, Sellers fell off a bit this past fall after a breakout first season as their starter. He, this season, went down to 60.8% completion for 2,437 yards, 13 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, while rushing for only 270 yards in scoring five touchdowns to bring him down to 225.6 yards per game overall. Considering that, a fourth year of college football could actually do wonders for his development.

Going into Year 3 as a starter, South Carolina will hope to see Sellers make those strides, not just due to experience but due to who’ll be his third offensive coordinator in as many years in Kendal Briles. The offense as a whole declined in going from Dowell Loggains to Mike Shula, who was fired before the season was over to start November, with Briles now taking his place after stops the past decade as an OC at TCU, Arkansas, Florida State, Houston, FAU, and Baylor.

“He’ll be the first to tell you he needs to play better, and we’ve got to coach him better,” head coach Shane Beamer said. “We’ve got to be better around him, and we all have to be accountable. He understands that …

“All indications I’ve had from LaNorris are that he wants to be here. He knows that the job is not finished, and there’s a lot of excitement about ’26, and he and a lot of our other players that are returning feel that same way.”
