"LaNorris Sellers Heisman": CFB fans mesmerized by South Carolina QB's arm strength at Manning Passing Academy

South Carolina Gamecocks quarterback LaNorris Sellers was one of the counselors at the Manning Passing Academy. The academy is an annual camp for young football players to instill the basics of the game in them. It also enlists the help of top college players as counselors for the younger players.

Beyond his role as a counselor, however, a clip of Sellers showcasing his arm strength with an incredible pass has surfaced online. The clip was shared on X by "The Draft Network," drawing reactions from several football fans.

A fan, Austin, wrote:

“Sellers Heisman.”

Another fan, Atlantaholic, also wrote:

“I was told he was a running back.”

Tyler Jones commented:

“Pretty good for a guy who can’t pass.”

Drgnfly also commented:

“Me looking for the “not a passer” “glorified running back” that y’all be running your stank breath about.”

Elmer Fudd Gantry added in their comment:

“Dude can spin the ball.”

LaNorris Sellers broke out in 2024 as a redshirt freshman with only three college games on his record. A former three-star prospect, he blew minds last season, posting one of the most outstanding seasons by any SEC quarterback.

As South Carolina recorded their best year since 2017, with a 9-4 record, Sellers shone. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 242 pounds, he threw for 2,534 yards and 18 touchdowns, recording a 65.6% pass completion rate. He also added 674 yards and seven more scores on the ground.

LaNorris Sellers’ $8 million NIL offer

LaNorris Sellers was named the SEC Freshman of the Year for his incredible season, prompting speculations about a potential transfer from the Gamecocks. According to The Athletic, he received an offer that included a two-year NIL package worth $8 million from an unnamed program.

According to the On3 NIL valuation, Sellers is worth $3.7 million, although it is unclear how much of that is from the Gamecocks. Therefore, the reported offer exceeded his current worth by more than $4 million.

Addressing the issue on “The Zach Gelb Show” on Tuesday, he said:

“I didn’t really stress over it too much. I think it wold have been more stressful, honestly, if I would have left, because then you got to worry about starting over, meeting new people, building those new relationships. So, I didn’t look deep into it.”

South Carolina fans will be seeing LaNorris Sellers again when the Gamecocks open their season against Virginia Tech on Aug. 31.
