South Carolina is reportedly going with Cutter Woods as the Gamecocks’ starting quarterback for Saturday night at Arkansas.
Moments before kickoff (7:45 p.m. ET, SEC Network), ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Woods will get the start for Shane Beamer‘s squad in Fayetteville. Woods will start in place of LaNorris Sellers, who is dealing with an injury.
Cutter Woods is in line to start tonight for South Carolina, per ESPN sources. He’s the expected starter at Arkansas with LaNorris Sellers dealing with an ankle injury. Seller has warmed up heavily taped.

It’s somewhat of a surprising development for the Gamecocks, as Sellers was observed warming up with the first-team offense.
Didn’t see any Cutter Woods with the ones at all. It was all Sellers. Woods was with the second group.

Woods has appeared in 5 games this season, but has thrown just 17 passes in 2026. He has completed 11 passes for 100 yards with 1 touchdown, as well as 1 interception.
A sophomore, Woods joined South Carolina in 2025 as the lone quarterback signee in that class for the Gamecocks. He is an in-state product of Westside High School in Anderson, South Carolina.
