Why Shane Beamer didn't give LaNorris Sellers injury update for South Carolina vs Arkansas

South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer did not give an update on star quarterback LaNorris Sellers' injury on Nov. 10.

Sellers suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter of the Gamecocks' Nov. 7 win over Texas A&M. He got x-rays at halftime, but returned to start the third quarter and led South Carolina to a 17-9 win.

Beamer said Nov. 8 Sellers would not practice that evening while waiting for swelling to go down, but would return to practice on Nov. 10 and that he expects him to play against Arkansas on Nov. 14.

"Nothing has changed since Sunday night," Beamer said Nov. 10. "We've got an injury report that comes out tomorrow."

No. 24 South Carolina (6-3, 4-3 SEC ) will face the Razorbacks (3-6, 1-5) on the road on Nov. 14 (7:45 p.m. ET, SEC Network).

Despite the injury, Sellers finished the game with 251 passing yards and one touchdown on 20 of 31 completions. He also had a 41-yard rushing touchdown with 1:19 left in the game that extended the Gamecocks' lead from one point to eight. He was visibly hobbled as he ran into the end zone.

"For him to be able to run in that moment, and not just run, but outrun a really good defense to the end zone, knowing he was nowhere near 100%, it's just a testament to him and what God blessed him with," Beamer said. "Natural ability and then his guts and heart to be able to get that ball in the end zone and will that team to victory."

In nine games, Sellers has thrown for 2,100 yards and 17 touchdowns at a 62.8% completion rate with seven interceptions. He's South Carolina's top rusher with 637 yards and seven touchdowns.

Who is LaNorris Sellers' backup quarterback?

South Carolina's backup quarterback is sophomore Cutter Woods. He's played in five games, completing 11 of 17 pass attempts for 100 yards, one touchdown and one interception. As a freshman in 2025 he was 8-for-11 passing for 69 yards and an interception.

Woods is a former three-star recruit. He's from Anderson, South Carolina, and played at Westside High School, where he totaled 11,225 yards and 120 touchdowns across his four seasons. He was named the MaxPreps South Carolina High School Football Player of the Year in 2023 and 2024.

Behind Woods on the depth chart is senior Bowling Green State transfer Lucian Anderson III.
