Overview

• When turning down a reported $8 million NIL deal, Sellers said “everything I needed was in South Carolina,” citing family proximity and school-covered housing support.
• Head coach Shane Beamer enlisted the Sellers family’s input in promoting Mike Shula to offensive coordinator on a three-year, $1.1 million-per-year contract to preserve offensive continuity.
• Last season as a starter, Sellers completed 65.6 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdowns and added 674 rushing yards, leading the Gamecocks to a nine-win campaign that included an upset of Clemson.
• NFL evaluators—including CBS Sports analyst Ryan Wilson—praise his elite rushing ability but flag inconsistent anticipation in his passing game as PFF data show he was sacked 41 times and recorded a 3.30-second average time to throw.
• Sellers is spending the offseason completing a sport and entertainment management internship in Columbia as he prepares for his junior season and further evaluates his NFL prospects.
