Dec 31, 2024; Orlando, FL, USA; South Carolina Gamecocks quarterback LaNorris Sellers (16) runs the ball against Illinois Fighting Illini linebacker Joe Barna (43) in the first quarter at Camping World Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jeremy Reper-Imagn Images South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers is expected to be one of the best quarterbacks in the Southeastern Conference this season and, potentially, a high pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
According to his father, Sellers’ stock was so high following his breakout 2024 campaign that schools made the family lucrative offers to induce him to transfer.
In a story published by The Athletic on Monday, Norris Sellers said his son’s highest offer was for two years and $8 million. The schools that reached out were not identified.
“He was offered all kinds of crazy numbers,” Norris told the outlet. “I told him he could say, ‘I’m gonna stay or I’m gonna go.’ (But) my two cents: It was to get into college on a scholarship, play ball, get our degree and go on about our business. This NIL deal came later. We didn’t come here to make money. We came here to get our education, play ball, and with schools calling, we’re not gonna jump ship because they’re offering more than what we’re getting. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
In his sophomore season — his first as a starter — Sellers completed 65.6 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards, 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He added 674 yards and seven scores on the ground.
Most notably, Sellers helped the Gamecocks upset intrastate rival Clemson 17-14 on Nov. 30. He threw for 164 yards and rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning score on a third-and-16 play with 1:08 to go.
Sellers earned third-team all-SEC honors (behind Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart and Texas’ Quinn Ewers) while helping South Carolina finish the regular season 9-3 before a Citrus Bowl loss to Illinois. NIL endorsement deals poured in over the offseason, but his father advised him not to chase more money from rival schools.
“You’re 19,” Norris said. “You don’t need ($8 million). You’re in a great spot. There were several talks, but it never really crossed his mind (to leave). It’s a challenge with colleges offering younger guys that kind of money. Who’s gonna say no to $8 million for two years? They’re gonna be swayed if you don’t have the right people in your corner.”
