It appears that potential buyers of Sellers will have to look elsewhere for a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft.

South Carolina QB LaNorris Sellers, currently ranked third by Mel Kiper Jr. among quarterback prospects for next year’s draft, is “nearing a deal to return” to the SEC school next season, ESPN reported Saturday .

“Sellers has indicated to his coaches he’ll return for his redshirt junior season, and the sides are expected to finalize a deal soon,” the report stated.

The 6-foot-3 Sellers has started 12 games in each of the past two seasons for the Gamecocks, with 31 touchdown passes, 13 rushing TDs and 15 interceptions.
