Star quarterback LaNorris Sellers is seen as maybe one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC today and he is now getting ready to take on some of the best teams in the NCAA. As training camp continues, a new snippet from Netflix’s “SEC Football: Any Given Saturday” documentary reveals South Carolina HC Shane Beamer talking about the star quarterback and how good he is.
“LaNorris’ recruitment in high school was a little different,” the coach explained. “Most quarterbacks are recruited in their sophomore year, junior year at the latest. He had some issues leading into his senior season where he wasn’t as recruited as highly as he should have been.”
“First time that I have really watched was seven-on-seven games, and there were some highly-decorated quarterbacks, but it was very evident to me that the best quarterback in our camp, and it wasn’t even close, was LaNorris Sellers.”
Beamer has been very vocal of his support for his star quarterback during the clip, saying that Sellers had the “it factor.”
“He just showed the ‘it factor’ and just his competitive spirit,” the coach added.

Throughout its promotions for “SEC Football: Any Given Saturday,” South Carolina has been prominently featured in various trailers, particularly Shane Beamer talking to his players, as well as LaNorris Sellers himself.
Other SEC teams, including Vanderbilt, Tennessee and more are prominently featured, though six of the biggest schools in the conference, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, Missouri and Oklahoma, did not allow Netflix to film them as they went about their respective training camps.
LaNorris Sellers Gets On New York Times’ Freak Athletes List
Meanwhile, the New York Times (NYT)’s Bruce Feldman has released his list of freak college football athletes. It was a Top 100 list that features names like Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith and Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor. Also making the list and ranked at No. 33 is LaNorris Sellers, who is one of the few quarterbacks in a list full of receivers and linemen.
“In his first season as a starter, the former three-star recruit took the sport by storm. He completed 66 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdowns and seven INTs. On the ground, he ran for 674 yards and seven TDs, often looking like the best athlete on the field,” Feldman wrote.
Sellers has proven to be a freak athlete on more than one occasion, as the NYT piece showed, and he is certainly coming into the 2025 season with a lot of hype.
