On Saturday at the South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) Class AAAA state championship game between South Florence and South Pointe, the former had a couple alum visitors who play on the college football level, now.

South Carolina Gamecocks’ quarterback LaNorris and Jayden Sellers were both in attendance at South Carolina State University for their alma mater’s state championship game. The Stallions ended up defeating the Bruins, 35-14, on Saturday afternoon.

Both LaNorris and Jayden won state titles during their respective high school football tenure at South Florence.

LaNorris last season in 2022 at South Florence was his breakout campaign that catapulted him as a recruit, with the quarterback totaling around 4,300 all-purpose yards (2,948 passing, 1,338 rushing) with 62 total touchdowns and only two mere interceptions.

This past season for the Gamecocks, LaNorris In 12 games passed for 2,437 yards, 14 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. The quarterback entered the season with massive expectations after establishing himself as a Heisman Trophy candidate in his redshirt freshman season. In 2024, the signal caller threw for 2,534 yards and 18 touchdowns as the Gamecocks fell just short of making the College Football Playoff.

The quarterback’s future at South Carolina is in doubt as Sellers is able to either enter the NFL Draft or return to Columbia. Sellers addressed his future after the team’s loss to Clemson back on Nov. 29.

“I mean, when the decision comes to make a decision, when time comes to make a decision, I’ll make the decision that works best for me,” Sellers said.
