LaNorris Sellers’ 2025 season began with Heisman hopes, but it’s just been sacks, one after another. In between, we see some mind-blowing plays, like in the game against the Aggies today. At one point, the Gamecocks led 30-3, but then conceded the biggest comeback in SEC history. After the game, Sellers addressed the heartbreak but also discussed a topic dominating headlines in South Carolina: his future.

“I plan on being here, because I’m here right now,” Sellers said. Every South Carolina fan who was waiting for a sign that their QB1 wasn’t leaving had a deep exhale moment. However, he added, “Just finishing the season and when the time has come to make those decisions, it’s just gonna be there, but everybody got decisions to make, but I’m getting on it.” The second part of the response again makes the whole situation tricky. 

The rumors emerged after Todd McShay revealed earlier this week Sellers is expected to return to college football next season.

“There’s a strong opinion in NFL scouting circles,” McShay said. “He will be back in school next year. That he absolutely needs to for his development to be ready when called upon as a first-round draft pick… Everyone is supporting the concept of he needs another year of college. There are people in his camp that are in agreement, from what I’m told.”

But his later prediction that he would not return to South Carolina sparked a chaos. McShay connected the dots to Miami by highlighting how Mario Cristobal, along with Cam Ward and Carson Beck, has subtly transformed Coral Gables into a quarterback elevator.

“I’m not here to say there’s collusion,” McShay stated. “I promise you, no one said a word. But one person started putting the dots together. There is a place in South Florida where they’ve done a really nice job of hand-picking quarterbacks the last two years and they’ve seen ascensions in their game… Miami is a program I would be very cautious of if I’m Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks program of trying to come in with an offer that’s very difficult to refuse.”
