LaNorris Sellers Flips To South Carolina, Signs LOI

Syracuse quarterback commit LaNorris Sellers has officially flipped to South Carolina and will become a Gamecock.

Fans have clamored for quarterback LaNorris Sellers to stay home and flip from Syracuse to South Carolina. That wish came to fruition on Friday morning.

Sellers became a historic figure in the Palmetto State during his senior season. He accounted for 67 touchdowns and led South Florence to a 15-0 record and a state championship, the first in program history.

He is a clean prospect with a high ceiling. Some may be drawn to Sellers' abilities with his legs, but when watching the tape, it's clear that he is a well-rounded quarterback that offers much more than athleticism.

Prospect: LaNorris Sellers

Projected Position: Quarterback

Vitals: 6-2.5 and 217 lbs.

School: South Florence High School (Florence, South Carolina)

Frame: Evenly distributed weight, with a muscle focus in the lower body. Sellers uses his lower-body strength to put torque on the ball, an asset to his motion. Powerful upper body and can run through tackles.

Athleticism: Sellers combines power and athleticism quite well. He has compact strides and ensures he doesn't overextend leverage when escaping the pocket.

Instincts: Being a dual-threat quarterback forces young prospects to learn quickly. While he could be a dominant runner, Sellers knows when and where to pick his spots, feeling out the play and game flow.

Polish: Has a strong, consistent motion that remains the same. Sellers' ball placement is excellent, as he routinely communicates with receivers by placing the ball in the optimum spot.

Bottom Line: From an intangibles perspective, Sellers is an excellent signee. He has the maturity and acumen to eventually become the leader of a program and throws the football just as well as he runs it.
