Gamecock coaches turn out in force as QB LaNorris Sellers shines in state title win
Dec. 04, 2022
South Carolina football coaches had all eyes on LaNorris Sellers on Saturday night. He didn’t disappoint. The South Florence High School senior quarterback put on a performance for the ages in the Class 4A championship game at Benedict’s Charlie W. Johnson Stadium. Sellers threw for 260 yards, ran for 192, and had six total touchdowns in helping the Bruins to a 57-30 win over Northwestern for the school’s first state championship.
“Special. I’m going to say it one more time: He is the best football player in the state and it’s not even close,” South Florence coach Drew Marlowe said. “He did it all tonight. He threw the deep ball really well, ran when we needed it, Special, special kid, a once-in-a-generation guy.”
Gamecocks assistant coaches Justin Stepp, Jody Wright, Greg Adkins, Jimmy Lindsey, and Torrian Gray all were on hand for the game as Carolina continued its pursuit of Sellers a Syracuse commitment ahead of the early signing period that begins Dec. 21
He’s been committed to Syracuse since March. Syracuse offensive coordinator Robert Anae and QBs coach Jason Beck also were there Saturday night and remained with Carolina Wright until Sellers left the field. Sellers said he plans to have an in-home visit with Syracuse coach Dino Babers this month. He’s taken an official visit to Syracuse, but not to South Carolina. Sellers did attend a couple of Gamecock football games this fall.
Coach Shane Beamer also is likely to have an in-home visit with Sellers. Beamer was in Atlanta on Saturday for the SEC Championship. Head coaches are only allowed one face-to-face visit, so Babers and Beamer are saving theirs for later this month. Whether or not Carolina hires for new offensive coordinator has an impact on Sellers’ decision remains to be seen. Marcus Satterfield left this past week for the same role under Matt Rhule at Nebraska. Sellers also will be busy the next few weeks with more football obligations.. He will be in Myrtle Beach next Saturday for the Mr. Football award ceremony.
