The No. 17 South Carolina Gamecocks will look to extend their winning streak on Saturday evening when they take the field against the Arkansas Razorbacks at Reynolds Razorback Stadium, and the status of star quarterback LaNorris Sellers will be top of mind for Gamecocks fans leading up to kickoff.
The uber-talented junior signal-caller suffered a left ankle injury during South Carolina’s come-from-behind victory over Texas A&M last Saturday, an injury he has been nursing all week during practice.
ESPN insider Pete Thamel reported Saturday morning that while Sellers is expected to be available against the Hogs, his status as the team’s starter is still up in the air and will more than likely come down to a game time decison.
Sellers is in the midst of another stellar season with the Gamecocks, entering Saturday’s matchup against Arkansas with 2,737 total yards and 24 touchdowns while also completing 62.8% of his passes.
If Sellers is ultimately unable to play, Thamel reports that head coach Shane Beamer will turn to sophomore backup Cutter Woods, who has yet to make a start during his time in Columbia.
South Carolina’s hopes of extending its winning streak will largely hinge on Sellers’ availability come kickoff, as his presence under center would be a massive boost against the Razorbacks. If he is ultimately unable to make the start, then it could be a very long day for the Gamecocks in Fayetteville.
