South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers revealed the feedback he received from NFL scouts before deciding to return to school for another season. Sellers, who is widely considered a top quarterback prospect, said scouts wanted to see him improve his pocket presence and rhythm as a passer, despite his ability to make plays with his feet. Sellers played in all 12 games last season, throwing for 2,437 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions, but his completion percentage dipped slightly from the previous year.
Why it matters
Sellers' decision to return to South Carolina for another season is significant, as he was weighing entering the 2026 NFL Draft, which is considered a relatively weak quarterback class. His feedback from scouts indicates areas he can improve to boost his draft stock for next year.
The details
Sellers said the main feedback he received from NFL scouts was to focus on improving his play from the pocket, including being more comfortable and calming his feet. While Sellers is known for his mobility and ability to make plays with his legs, scouts want to see him develop as a passer and deliver more strikes from the pocket. Sellers' stats dipped slightly in 2025 compared to the previous season, but South Carolina has made efforts to improve the offensive line and add receiving talent around him.
- Sellers played in all 12 games for South Carolina in the 2025 season.
- Sellers is entering his third season as the starting quarterback for the Gamecocks.
