Overview

• South Carolina beat Virginia Tech 24-11 in Atlanta, where Sellers scored on a 15-yard run, hit Nyck Harbor for a 64-yard touchdown, and finished 12-of-19 passing for 209 yards.
• Early 2026 mock drafts from Athlon’s Luke Easterling and ESPN’s Field Yates slot Sellers at No. 2, with scenarios linking him to the Browns or a Jets trade-up, while Arch Manning holds No. 1 in those projections.
• Sellers’ 2024 breakout featured 2,534 passing yards with 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions, plus 674 rushing yards and seven rushing scores.
• Scouting evaluations reference shades of Josh Allen and Cam Newton in his escapability and power, while noting he must keep sharpening ball placement and overall decision-making.
• Cleveland’s situation looms over the projections as Deshaun Watson works back from an Achilles injury on a fully guaranteed deal through 2026, and recent draft picks leave the team’s long-term quarterback answer unsettled.
