Gamecocks’ LaNorris Sellers and Dylan Stewart Generate Buzz as NFL Prospects
This offseason, South Carolina’s quarterback LaNorris Sellers and EDGE rusher Dylan Stewart have emerged as major storylines for the Gamecocks. Sellers has gained traction as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate, while Stewart is being touted as one of the top players in college football, with some experts placing him in the top five nationwide and highlighting his potential as the top defensive player.
Pro Football Focus (PFF) recently ranked Stewart as the No. 4 prospect and the second-best EDGE rusher for the upcoming 2027 NFL Draft, reinforcing his reputation as a dominant force. Only Texas’ Colin Simmons is rated higher at the position. PFF noted that Stewart’s athletic abilities remind some of the former Gamecock star Jadeveon Clowney, with the potential to be a No. 1 overall pick if he maintains his current trajectory.
As a Freshman All-American, Stewart earned accolades for his impressive debut, achieving a 91.4 pass-rush grade and recording 51 pressures last season. As he enters his sophomore year, expectations are soaring for Stewart, who could challenge for the title of the best Gamecock season since Clowney in 2012. All eyes will be on him as he aims to escalate his already lofty status in college football.
