In this story:

South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers is gaining national attention after being ranked 20th on 247Sports' list of top college quarterbacks. While the redshirt freshman hasn’t played a perfect season, his game has steadily improved with each outing, and he's beginning to make a name for himself. Most recently, Sellers led the Gamecocks to an impressive 35-9 road win over Oklahoma in Norman, bringing South Carolina’s record to 4-3.

Sellers has shown flashes of potential throughout the season, completing 88 of 140 passes (62.9%) for 968 yards. He’s also recorded 5 touchdowns, though he’s had some growing pains, throwing 4 interceptions. Despite the learning curve, Sellers' development over the course of the season is evident, and he's proving his ability to compete at a high level in the SEC.

Among the quarterbacks ranked ahead of Sellers were several SEC standouts, including:

  • No. 5 LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier
  • No. 6 Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia
  • No. 15 Texas QB Quinn Ewers
  • No. 18 Georgia QB Carson Beck
  • No. 19 Alabama QB Jalen Milroe

With Sellers ranked as the fifth-best quarterback in the SEC by 247Sports, his progression as a redshirt freshman has put him in a position to be recognized among the conference’s top talents. As the season continues, his steady improvement bodes well for South Carolina's future under center.
