This offseason, Sellers has been a popular pick as one of the top quarterbacks in both the SEC and the country as a whole. He has made most of the preseason All-SEC teams and garnered a few preseason All-American predictions. Several betting outlets include No. 16 among the nation’s top 10 Heisman Trophy candidates.
Last season, Sellers became the first quarterback in South Carolina’s history to earn All-SEC recognition from the league’s coaches. Sellers made the third team, and the two players ahead of him (Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart on the first team and Texas’ Quinn Ewers on the second team) are now in the NFL.
