South Carolina is doing something no one else in America is pulling off this offseason — retaining elite, program-changing talent 🔥🐔 While other programs scramble to replace stars lost to the transfer portal, Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks have locked in two five-star cornerstones: quarterback LaNorris Sellers and edge rusher Dylan Stewart. In this episode, we break down why keeping both five-stars is such a massive win for South Carolina, how it separates the Gamecocks from the rest of the country this offseason, and what it says about the culture, NIL strategy, and long-term vision in Columbia. Sellers gives South Carolina stability, upside, and star power at the most important position in college football, while Stewart anchors a defense built to compete in the SEC.
