Syracuse Orange

Florence (S.C.) South Florence High quarterback LaNorris Sellers has committed to Syracuse. Sellers, a 6-3, 220 pound signal caller, picked the Orange over offers from Appalachian State, Memphis, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington State.

Sellers had committed to Virginia last July. However, when Bronco Mendenhall retired after the season leading to offensive coordinator Robert Anae and quarterbacks coach Jason Beck leaving for Syracuse, Sellers reopened his recruitment. His relationships with coach Anae and Beck were important in his decision to pick Virginia initially, and also aided the Orange's efforts.

Coach Beck reached out to Sellers almost immediately after taking the job at Syracuse. Days later an offer was extended.

"Coach Beck called me when he first arrived at Syracuse," Sellers said. "He told me that he wanted to offer me but didn't know how they handled the recruiting and offering process. He also wanted coach Babers to tell me. So then two days after that he found out and FaceTimed me. He let me talk to coach Babers and officially offered me.

"I was excited. Just hearing back from Beck again and meeting coach Babers."

Less than two months after receiving the offer, Sellers is the first member of Syracuse's 2023 recruiting class. Last season, he only played in four games due to injury. However, he completed 64% of his passes for 780 yards and 10 touchdowns. Sellers also ran for 243 yards and six more scores.

This is a significant first commitment for the Orange. Not only is it on the board for the 2023 recruiting cycle early, but landing its top priority quarterback is always important.

EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more.
