South Carolina Gamecocks quarterback LaNorris Sellers is projected to be one of the top QBs in the nation next season. After a stellar freshman season where he completed 196 of 299 passing attempts for 2534 yards and 18 TDs, Sellers looks poised to take another step forward.
However, the Gamecocks were not the only team that was looking at his freshman season excitedly. According to a report from The Athletic, Sellers turned down an $8 million NIL offer to transfer. Sellers’ father reportedly talked him out of transferring, telling him:
“You’re 19. You don’t need $8 million.”

Fans continued to react in the comments.
“You don’t turn down 8 Mill, me and pops would’ve been on bad terms for 6 years,” one fan wrote.
“Hell yea. People forget SoCar were genuinely ROBBED of a playoff berth. The officiating in the South Carolina vs LSU is universally regarded as some of the worst we’ve seen in a LONG TIME. I can’t recall a game where one team were so clearly f’d over by calls (I’m a UGA grad fwiw),” one fan commented..
“I mean yes he going pro but aint no way im telling my kid u dont need no type of money im sorry i get what his dad doing tho,” one fan added.
