South Carolina starting quarterback LaNorris Sellers took a big hit in the second quarter against Vanderbilt on Saturday night and is unlikely to return to the contest.
The play came with less than two minutes to go in the first half, when Sellers dropped back to throw and hit running back Raisul Faison out of the backfield. Sellers was hit hard after releasing the football, which resulted in a targeting penalty on Commodores linebacker Langston Patterson.
Sellers remained down on the field and was helped to the sideline.
Vanderbilt took a 14–7 lead into halftime on the road against the 11th-ranked Gamecocks.
Sellers entered Saturday having completed 23 of his 38 pass attempts for 337 yards and two touchdowns; he's also run for a score on the ground. In 2024, Sellers tossed 18 touchdown passes and ran for seven more on a 9-4 South Carolina team.
