Shane Beamer Discusses Gamecocks’ Progress During Welcome Home Tour
South Carolina football head coach Shane Beamer addressed media ahead of the Aiken stop on the 2025 Welcome Home Tour, providing updates on the Gamecock football program as May unfolds.
Beamer offered insight into running back Rahsul Faison’s eligibility status, confirming that the NCAA has yet to approve his waiver for an additional year. He stated that while the situation remains unchanged since the last tour stop, all options, including potential legal action, remain on the table depending on Faison’s wishes. The team is awaiting further word from the NCAA.
In roster updates, the Gamecocks have reinforced their offensive line with the addition of Nolan Hay from Incarnate Word via the transfer portal. Beamer mentioned the importance of bolstering this area, noting that some competing programs carry 16-18 offensive linemen on scholarship. While he didn’t specify a target number for South Carolina, he acknowledged the current depth is below expectations. Nonetheless, he expressed confidence in the talent on the roster, with healthy competition among players like Cason Henry, Josiah Thompson, Tree Babalade, and Jatavius Shivers.
Beamer also addressed the offseason buzz surrounding LaNorris Sellers and his potential NFL prospects, emphasizing that the quarterback remains grounded amidst the speculation. He lightened the mood with a humorous anecdote about Sellers missing a class, which led to him needing an excuse from Beamer for his professor.
As the team continues to prepare for the upcoming season, Beamer’s insights reflect a commitment to both player development and a competitive roster, as the Gamecocks aim for success on the gridiron.
