Depth Chart Thursday: LaNorris Sellers Leads South Carolina’s Offense into 2026
As Spring Ball & Recruiting 2026 winds down, we evaluate how the Gamecocks' revamped roster looks under Shane Beamer.
As the Gamecocks navigate the final stretch of the Spring Ball & Recruiting 2026 season, all eyes are on Columbia to see how Shane Beamer plans to turn the tide after a challenging 2025 campaign. With a 4-8 record behind them, the focus for Depth Chart Thursday turns to the foundational pieces of a roster looking for a fresh start.
At the center of it all is quarterback LaNorris Sellers, who enters his third year as the clear QB1 for South Carolina. While the quarterback room features depth with Cutter Woods and Landon Duckworth, the offense will rely heavily on Sellers to lead the charge. Under the direction of new offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, the team is working to overhaul an offense that struggled last year, bolstered by a significant influx of transfer portal talent, particularly along the offensive line where players like Jacarrius Peak and Carter Miller aim to stabilize the unit.
Shane Beamer has stressed intentionality and growth as the primary objectives for this spring. With the return of key playmakers like Nyck Harbor and Matt Fuller, the program is banking on chemistry and new scheme familiarity to make a statement when the season kicks off.
