Lanorris Sellers, the quarterback of the University of South Carolina, Heisman candidate, and probably one of the top picks in this year’s NFL draft is loved but hated. Lanorris single handedly carried South Carolina to beat Clemson last year and led the team to the best season in a decade at USC. Lanorris threw for over 2,534 yards, had 18 touchdowns, 675 rushing yards, and 7 interceptions making him one of the best in the league to even be compared to “Derrick Henry but he can throw” and even to having a “Cam Newton build”. Although he is obviously the BEST player in the country right now, some people still don’t believe in his leadership and skill. In this article we will figure out what people, from many different teams, think about Lanorris and his superman-like abilities.
This is the response of Aayush, a fan of the Clemson Tigers said this about Lanorris: “He is definitely someone to watch for and I despise him because we lost to him, but this year we are coming for revenge, Go TIgers”. Although Aayush is clearly wrong, his recognition in Lanorris’ abilities to carry is something to take into consideration as most people (like me) would diss and hate the opponents star player.
We asked Zuriel, a fan of Ohio State and the Gamecocks about him and his opinion on Lanorris (LaHeisman) is: “Lanorris in one word is..HIM, I love Lanorris as he is clutch in key moments and dog-walked Clemson BY HIMSELF. Overall I am just a huge fan and would personally love to see how his NFL career unfolds”. Even though Zuriel is a fan of two very diverse teams, his ability to realize just how skilled Lanorris is something to keep in mind.
Eli Mitchell, a fan of Pitt and Penn State said: “He looked alright, due to the SC State game, I think the future is bright for the season though. I don’t think the first two games did him any justice as they were just incorporating new players into the squad and haven’t created a super strong bond yet, needed for a good team”. Eli pointed out some very important things such as the first two weeks not being his best but Eli has seen what Lanorris can and will do in his future at USC.
Max Tippey, an extremist when it comes to hating on South Carolina although he is a Kentucky fan said this about Lanorris: “I mean he’s aight, hes a great player but he is over hyped. In my opinion he isn’t that great compared to other QB’s. He is however better than Cade Klubnik because Cade is just a terrible QB who is carried by his wide receivers.” Max has some amazing points and some terrible points. Obviously Max has PTSD from the Kentucky game from last year that is influencing his opinion but his point on Klubnik is something to take into account as he is one of the most OVER RATED players in the country.
