South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer has named LaNorris Sellers the starting quarterback coming out of spring practice. The announcement was made on Monday night while the head coach was speaking on the Florence Welcome Home Tour.

Beamer made sure to state competition is still open across the roster, including quarterback. Auburn transfer Robby Ashford was one the competing against Sellers for the starting spot.

But for now, he plans on Sellers being the guy for South Carolina’s season opener against Old Dominion.

“I’ll tell you guys what I told LaNorris and all the quarterbacks coming out of spring practice. ‘Coming out of spring practice, LaNorris (Sellers) is our starting quarterback,’” Beamer said via On3’s Gamecock Central. “But, just like all of our positions, we’ll continue to compete at all positions.”

“So, I told Robby Ashford, the moment that I say that at a Gamecock Club event, the headline’s going to be, ‘Beamer names LaNorris Sellers starting quarterback.’ LaNorris is the starting quarterback coming out of spring, but like I told LaNorris and like I told Robby, Robby did a great job during spring practice along with our other quarterbacks. LaNorris did a great job and I expect LaNorris to continue to compete and earn that position as well.”
