Three Gamecocks Named to SEC Media’s All-SEC Squads

COLUMBIA, S.C. (July 18, 2025) — University of South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers and Edge rusher Dylan Stewart highlight the 2025 preseason All-SEC team as selected by the media that attended the SEC Media Days in Atlanta over the past week, the conference office announced today.

Sellers, a 6-3, 240-pound redshirt sophomore from Florence, S.C., and Stewart, a 6-5, 245-pound sophomore from Washington, D.C., were both first-team selections by the media. In addition, defensive back Jalon Kilgore, a 6-1, 211-pound junior from Eatonton, Ga., was a second-team selection.

South Carolina was picked to finish fifth in the media’s preseason poll behind Texas, Georgia, Alabama and LSU.

The participants of the SEC Championship Game will be determined during the eight-game regular-season conference schedule as the teams with the two best overall SEC winning percentages.

Only 10 times since 1992 (33 years) has the predicted champion prior to the season at SEC Media Days proceeded to win the SEC Championship Game.

The Gamecocks will kick off the 2025 season on Aug. 31 when they travel to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to face the Virginia Tech Hokies. Game time is set for 3 pm ET and the contest will be televised nationally on ESPN.
