South Carolina Gamecocks’ Quarterback Competition Heats Up
As the South Carolina Gamecocks gear up for the 2025 football season, head coach Shane Beamer has provided insights into the team’s quarterback dynamics, particularly focusing on the backup position.
LaNorris Sellers, a redshirt freshman, is set to start as the Gamecocks’ quarterback. Beamer emphasized the importance of competition, stating, "LaNorris Sellers is going to go into spring practice as our starting quarterback, and let’s be real, it’s gonna be hard to beat him out."

Behind Sellers, the quarterback room is notably young. Beamer highlighted the team’s inexperience, mentioning that players like Dante Reno and Air Noland are in their second year of college, while Cutter Woods is entering his first practice as a Gamecock. He acknowledged the raw talent but underscored the need for development, stating, "I want to see those guys compete, and I’ve been impressed with them." (essentiallysports.com)
To bolster depth and experience, the Gamecocks have added graduate student Davis Beville, who spent three years as a backup at Pittsburgh before transferring to Oklahoma. Beville brings valuable experience and leadership to the quarterback room. (dailygamecock.com)
Beamer’s approach reflects a commitment to fostering competition and versatility within the team. He emphasized that every player, regardless of past performance, must earn their spot on the roster. This philosophy aims to ensure that the Gamecocks are well-prepared for the challenges of the upcoming season. (dailygamecock.com)
