LaNorris Sellers Flips From Syracuse, Signs With South Carolina /

In this story:

Class of 2023 quarterback LaNorris Sellers has flipped his commitment and signed with South Carolina, he announced on Friday. Sellers had been committed to Syracuse since March, but elected to stay in-state when the Gamecocks decided to start recruiting him over the last month or so. The decision leaves the Orange without a quarterback for the 2023 recruiting cycle.

Sellers was originally committed to Virginia when Jason Beck was the quarterbacks coach there, but flipped to Syracuse when Beck and offensive coordinator Robert Anae left the Cavs for the Orange.

At the beginning of his junior season, Sellers suffered an injury that cost him the year. While most coaches backed off, coach Beck stuck with him despite the injury. South Carolina had not expressed any interest until a month or so ago. The Gamecocks then made a big push, pitching location and playing in front of friends and family.

Sellers had a monster senior year in which he led South Florence to an undefeated season and South Carolina State Championship. He threw for 2,949 yards with 45 touchdowns and two interceptions as a senior. In addition, Sellers ran for 1,337 yards and 22 more scores. He is listed at 6-3, 217 pounds.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. 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. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
