South Carolina QB turns heads with latest NIL deal
South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers isn't just rewriting the Gamecocks' playbook—he's changing the NIL game, one action figure at a time.
Fresh off a breakout 2024 campaign, Sellers has signed a unique and headline-making NIL deal with Collegiate Legends, becoming one of the first players in the country to be immortalized as a collectible action figure. The $3.7 million On3 NIL Valuation attached to the redshirt sophomore now places him at No. 5 in college football and solidifies his spot among the sport's most marketable names.

As part of the deal, Sellers will receive a custom, poseable action figure available exclusively through Gamecock Traditions. Priced at $99.99, it's already creating buzz online and in Columbia. 'This is more than just a toy – it's a celebration of Gamecock greatness,' said Collegiate Legends president Holly Tanory. With features including a Heisman pose and lifelike detailing, the collectible connects fans, alumni, and young supporters to the rising star in a tangible way.

Giving Back Through NIL
Sellers isn't pocketing the spotlight for himself. He's using the deal to give back, gifting a portion of the figures to local children—a heartfelt move that adds depth to his brand and resonates well with fans and future sponsors alike. It builds on a growing trend of NIL athletes turning endorsements into community impact. Sellers previously partnered with Cheez-It for the Citrus Bowl and made a splash in EA Sports College Football 25. Now, he's proving that NIL can be about more than personal gain—it can be a platform for connection and purpose.
