Sellers is widely expected to earn the starting quarterback position at South Carolina this season, with Shane Beamer previously telling GamecockCentral.com that the sophomore will take the first snap of spring football.
As a true freshman, he saw action in five games, going 4/4 passing for 86 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown on 5 carries.
A former four-star prospect, Sellers was a production machine during his time at South Florence High School, leading the Bruins to a 4A state title during his senior season. During that campaign, he threw for just shy of 2,500 yards with 45 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions. He also rushed for 1,338 yards and an additional 17 scores.
Harbor was rated by the On3 Industry Ranking as the nation’s number-one athlete in the 2023 class out of Washington (D.C.) Archbishop Carroll.

He played in all 12 games as a true freshman, starting five for South Carolina. In year one, he caught 12 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown.
Sanders enrolled in Columbia in January as a transfer from Arkansas, where he put together one of the country’s most impressive performances in 2022. During that year, Sanders rushed for over 1,400 yards for the Razobacks.
While the Florida native will be limited or out this spring recovering from shoulder surgery, he is expected to play a significant role for the Gamecocks’ offense.
South Carolina football has one Heisman Trophy winner in its past; running back George Rogers earned the honor for the 1980 season.
Former Gamecocks head coach Steve Spurrier won the trophy during his time as a quarterback at the University of Florida in 1966.
