Following the Garnet and Black Spring Game, LaNorris Sellers spoke to the media on Friday. Here is everything he had to say.

How much progress do you think was made? Is there one issue that you think you guys might be working on for the season?

“I mean, we’re always gonna have issues, because of spring ball with a bunch of new guys coming in. Just got to keep up the chemistry, keep going, stuff like that. But yeah, we definitely have improved as a team, I would say.”

LaNorris, could you just give your assessments on the quarterbacks and what you saw from all of them tonight?

“Yeah, I mean, I saw Air (Noland), they did some good stuff with what they had. I know sometimes we have like, pressures like that. This is like footwork, stepping up in the pocket, stuff like that. Cutter (Woods) came out, did his thing. He had a couple of passes. He ran in for a touchdown. I mean, Luke (Doty) has been here forever; he did his thing. Same thing with Dante (Reno), he went out there and did his thing. They did everything and worked with what they had, moved the ball when they needed, to get stuff done.”

Two for you real quick, working with Rodney Newsom tonight, obviously the snap went over your head. What happened on that play there?

“I just think it was a mistake on his part. I mean, it happens. First game in Williams-Brice, stuff like that. So I understand.”

Shane was just in here a minute ago, saying, you know, if at the end of the spring, Boaz (Stanley) would probably be the starting center for you guys right now. From working with him in the spring and stuff, what has that been like? What does he bring to the table that you like?

“Smart guy. He’s physical, super positive, always happy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him down. He’s always smiling. No matter what, if it’s good or bad. He just knows what he’s doing. He has a lot of experience at the college level.”

LaNorris, what did you see from the young receivers? Brian Rowe and Malik Clark made some big plays. Your brother was out there as well.

“I mean, they just showed up all spring, so it wasn’t really a surprise. We knew what they had coming in out of high school. So, I mean, we have good players. They can come in and play. Donovan Murph coming in. So we’ve got to be ready to play. And they showed how they are.”

How has your life changed with NIL? Just going out, taking pictures. People know you, how’s your life changed last year?

“It is crazy. It’s going in public, like you said, we do some picture stuff. Just everybody knows you can’t really go in public without being like recognized now.”

LaNorris, what are you going to spend most time this summer? And what do you want to improve on most? And the second question is, can you critique your brother’s first appearance at Williams-Brice Stadium?

“So I just want to focus on the little things, like footwork, assisting, like I said earlier. Just being more patient, anticipation, stuff like that. Just like the small details. And then my brother, I mean, if you’re gonna fair catch a punt, fair catch it as you catch it. And if you catch an outbreak route, don’t run back into it where the defense is coming from. It’s not going to go good for you.”

I’m sure you had a routine last summer with your receivers. Is there anything that you know you’re going to change for this summer’s routine?

“Yeah, we probably did do it more just because they’re freshmen. I think we had more older guys last year. We had freshmen coming in, so we just got to do it more, make sure they understand, like, why we do things. Understand like reading coverages or routes, bringing flat, keep them high. Make sure to come back to the ball, like, curve off, stuff like that.”

You had the Heisman Trophy tag kind of circulating your name as of late. Is it weird hearing that and hearing your name and those types of conversations and or do you think about it at all?

“I won’t say it’s weird. It’s definitely different. But I mean, I still got to go ahead and play, so I don’t like looking into it too much, but we all have goals.”

The spring game is kind of unique in its structure. How much does tonight scratch the itch for you guys to get back out there?

“Just gets a team to compete in the game setting. I know we practice stuff, but it’s not it’s nothing like an actual game.”
