Backup QB Woods to Start for Injured Sellers
15 Nov
Summary
- Cutter Woods will start at quarterback for South Carolina.
- Starting QB LaNorris Sellers is sidelined with an ankle injury.
- Woods has thrown 100 yards, one touchdown, and one interception this season.
South Carolina's backup quarterback, Cutter Woods, will be the starting signal-caller against Arkansas on November 14. This decision comes as the primary quarterback, LaNorris Sellers, is still recovering from an ankle injury sustained during the Week 10 victory over Texas A&M. While Sellers practiced this week, coach Shane Beamer determined he was not fit to start.
Woods, a sophomore from Anderson, South Carolina, has been identified as the second-string quarterback by offensive coordinator Kendal Briles. This season, Woods has completed 11 of 17 passes for 100 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. His collegiate career began in January 2025 after graduating high school early.
Woods was a highly-touted recruit, ranked No. 16 in his state and No. 38 at his position by the 247Sports Composite for the Class of 2025. He initially committed to Wake Forest before flipping his commitment to South Carolina after attending a summer camp. The Gamecocks, currently ranked No. 24, are seeking their fifth straight win in this matchup against Arkansas.
