South Carolina QB LaNorris Sellers Announces Knee Injury After Vanderbilt Victory
**Columbia, SC –** South Carolina Gamecocks quarterback LaNorris Sellers has confirmed he sustained a knee injury during the team’s 38-21 victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores this past Saturday. The announcement, made by Sellers on social media following the game, has raised concerns for the sophomore’s health and his availability for future matchups.
Sellers, who stepped in as the Gamecocks’ starting quarterback earlier this season, has been a key contributor to the team’s offense. Known for his dual-threat ability, he has been effective both through the air and on the ground. In Saturday’s win against Vanderbilt, Sellers threw for over 200 yards and rushed for a touchdown, helping South Carolina extend its winning streak.
However, Sellers revealed that he experienced discomfort in his knee during the latter part of the game. While he continued playing through the injury, he admitted that the issue worsened post-game, prompting him to seek further evaluation. The nature of the injury, which has not been fully disclosed, will require additional tests in the coming days to determine the severity.
Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer expressed optimism but noted that Sellers’ status would be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. “LaNorris has been playing at a high level for us, and we’re hopeful this injury won’t keep him sidelined long,” Beamer said in his post-game comments. “We’ll take it one step at a time and make sure he gets the proper treatment.”
Backup quarterback Tanner Bailey, a freshman, could see more action in the coming weeks if Sellers is forced to miss any games. The Gamecocks will face off against a tough opponent next week, making Sellers’ recovery an urgent concern for the team as they look to continue their momentum in the SEC.
More details on the injury are expected after further medical evaluations.
