LaNorris Sellers is heating up NFL Draft buzz despite a rough 2025 season—43 sacks hurt his rhythm, but his deep-ball touch, quick release, and legs still shine. With new OC Kendal Briles and elite tackle Jacarrius Peak joining the Gamecocks, Sellers’ protection and performance could skyrocket in 2026. Already being compared to Arch Manning and others in the 2027 class, his redshirt freshman breakout proves he’s got serious upside. The real test? His 2026 campaign, starting at home against Kent State on Sept. 5.

South Carolina and Alabama have delivered thrilling battles in recent seasons, with the Gamecocks narrowly losing in 2024 before avenging it with a dramatic home win last year — proving Coach Beamer’s team is built for big moments. Heading into 2026, a road victory over Alabama could be the breakthrough that catapults South Carolina into the College Football Playoff for the first time. While Alabama’s Bryant-Denny Stadium is notoriously tough, the Crimson Tide are facing major upheaval — losing their starting QB and top offensive tackle, both high draft picks. With QB competition brewing in Tuscaloosa and South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers potentially holding the edge, plus a revamped offensive coordinator poised to unlock the Gamecocks’ offense, this matchup could be the defining game of the season — and a potential playoff springboard.

Shane Beamer is firing up the South Carolina Gamecocks for a seismic 2026 season, declaring they’re “a hell of a team” and aiming for the College Football Playoff — a first for the program. After a brutal 4-8 campaign, Beamer’s brought in TCU’s Kendal Briles as offensive coordinator and loaded the roster with transfers, including a top tackle and Texas RB, while key returnees like Sellers and Harbor anchor the offense. The message is clear: this isn’t just a rebuild — it’s a championship push.
