LaNorris Sellers Confirms Return to South Carolina, Forgoing 2026 NFL Draft

The quarterback seeks to rebuild his draft stock after a 4-8 season that cooled first-round projections.

Overview

  • Sellers announced his decision in a recommitment video, saying he is "not running from it — [he’s] running toward it."
  • Once hyped as a potential No. 1 pick, he now sits at No. 11 among quarterbacks and No. 112 overall on Bleacher Report’s big board.
  • He finished 2025 with 2,437 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions, adding 270 rushing yards and five rushing scores as South Carolina went 4-8.
  • Shane Beamer remains head coach while defensive back Brandon Cisse declared for the NFL Draft earlier this month.
  • Recent roster moves include landing four-star quarterback Landon Duckworth and flipping edge rusher Julian Walker from Michigan, reinforcing depth for 2026.
