Can QB LaNorris Sellers Elevate the Gamecocks? South Carolina Spring 2024 Football Preview

On today's show, we continue our SEC Spring Preview series talking all things South Carolina Gamecocks with Andrew Lyon from Locked On Gamecocks. With Spencer Rattler moving on to the NFL, the question is if QB LaNorris Sellers can elevate the offense this season with his play, after getting a taste of playing time last year in a couple of games. The offensive line will have to play better, and they said goodbye to stud WRs Xavier Legette and Juice Wells, but they do add a proven running back in Rocket Sanders coming over from Arkansas. Shane Beamer has to get the train back on the tracks.

On defense, they add a stud freshman pass rusher in Dylan Stewart, and have some proven guys in the secondary like Nick Emmanwori, Jalon Kilgore and DQ Smith, along with LB Debo Williams. They'll need to mix in some new pieces on the defensive line, but this is a big year for this defense to show significant improvement over last season.

The schedule is brutal for Shane Beamer's group once again, but he will need to improve over last year's losing record, and get to at least 6-6 and go bowling to build back some trust from the fanbase. Beamer continues to recruit at a high level, but at the end of the day, wins are what matter most, and the Gamecocks will need to look competitive to keep the Beamer Era rolling.
