South Carolina Gamecocks quarterback LaNorris Sellers is expected to be one of the best QBs in the nation next season. In his first season as a starter last year, he completed 196 of 299 passing attempts for 2,534 yards and 18 TDs. With the season approaching, many players, including Sellers, have started to make more media appearances.
On Thursday, LaNorris Sellers, who has an NIL value of $3.7 million according to On3, answered several questions in a CBS Sports interview, which was posted on the CBS Sports Instagram account.
One of the questions was what his favorite thing to do to pass the time off the field was. Sellers gave a simple answer, referring to a popular social media platform.
“TikTok,” Sellers said.
While Sellers, like many people, enjoys scrolling on TikTok, his answer to one of the follow-up questions indicates that he does not like the app as much as he initially said. When asked about a habit he is trying to break, he said:
“Less TikTok.”

Sellers continued to answer several fun questions in the interview. Notably, the interview closed out with him talking about his best and worst sports other than football.
“Best sport, soccer,” Sellers said. “Worst sport, hitting a baseball is hard.”
LaNorris Sellers Opens Up on Expectations for Himself and South Carolina Gamecocks
LaNorris Sellers has made several media appearances lately. While his interview with CBS Sports was fun, it did not provide much insight into the coming season.
However, when he appeared on “The Triple Option” podcast last week, he delved a bit deeper into the Gamecocks’ 2025 season. On the show, he spoke about the internal expectations for the team.
“Just to keep winning,” Sellers said. “No matter who we play, we know it’s not going to be easy. This year we’ve got to keep it up and don’t underestimate [teams] just because we beat them last year.”
South Carolina thrived as an underdog last season, beating teams like Kentucky, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Clemson when they were the betting underdogs. After a slow start to the season where they went 3-3, the Gamecocks won six games in a row to close the regular season. Their success was partially because of the emergence of LaNorris Sellers as a star quarterback.
Next season, the Gamecocks are unlikely to take many teams by surprise. They will kick off their season on Sunday, Aug. 31, against Virginia Tech.
