Overview

  • Quarterback LaNorris Sellers posted a video confirming he will stay for 2026, forgoing the 2026 NFL draft and the transfer portal.
  • Edge rusher Dylan Stewart said he will “run it back,” and ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported his NIL pact will place him among the nation’s highest‑paid players.
  • Beamer publicly dismissed a local claim that around $5 million in school rev‑share funded the two decisions, calling the figure nowhere close to true.
  • South Carolina is retooling on offense after a 4‑8 season, hiring Kendal Briles as coordinator along with assistants Randy Clements and Stan Drayton.
  • Sellers was once projected among top 2026 quarterback prospects but had an inconsistent 2025, setting up a reset under new leadership next season.
