Shane Beamer appeared on SiriusXM’s “SEC This Morning” on Thursday to discuss how LaNorris Sellers has improved for South Carolina over the past few weeks.
“He’s playing with confidence. He’s having a lot of fun. I mean, that’s what I see, and it’s at practice too,” Beamer said. “You hear him out there at practice. He’s vocal. He’s talking trash to the defense. He’s having fun.”
Sellers has been one of the driving forces behind South Carolina’s four-game win streak. He’s passed for 1,041 yards and nine touchdowns. Of course, he can make things happen with his feet, too, with 51 carries for 246 yards and six TDs. He exited with an ankle injury against Texas A&M, but later returned and ran for a game-capping 41-yard touchdown with less than 90 seconds to play.
Shane Beamer noted that Sellers has areas where he can improve, especially as the Gamecocks look to secure a College Football Playoff spot. Sellers is fully aware, too.
“There’s a lot of things that he wants to be better at and knows he hasn’t arrived. But he’s just in a good place right now,” Beamer said. “And, you know, give Kendall Briles, our offensive coordinator, a lot of credit. I think LaNorris knows the personnel around him is better than it’s been, even in (2024).”
