NFL Scouts Advise LaNorris Sellers to Stay in College, Potential Miami Transfer Looms

COLUMBIA, SC – South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers is drawing NFL attention, but experts believe he needs more collegiate experience before making the jump. According to ESPN’s Todd McShay, NFL scouts widely believe Sellers will forgo the upcoming draft and return to college for another season.

“There’s a strong opinion in NFL scouting circles… with LaNorris Sellers, he will be back in school next year, he absolutely needs to…,” McShay stated on The McShay Show. “Everyone is supporting the concept of, he needs another year in college. And there are people in his camp who are in agreement.”

However, Sellers’ future with the Gamecocks isn’t guaranteed. McShay noted that other programs are “lurking,” with Miami identified as a potential landing spot. He emphasized that there’s no evidence of improper contact, but Miami’s track record of developing quarterbacks – citing the success of Cam Ward and Carson Beck – makes them an attractive option.

Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski ranks Sellers as the No. 8 quarterback in the projected 2026 draft class, further reinforcing the idea that another year of college development would be beneficial.

While Sellers’ talent is undeniable, the consensus seems to be that additional seasoning is needed before he’s ready for the NFL. The question now is: will that seasoning come in Columbia, or will Sellers take his talents to South Beach?
