🎙️ TAILGATE TALKS
Tailgate Talks: LaNorris Sellers & Cason Henry — A two-for-one special this week on the Tailgate! Heisman candidate and South Carolina's QB1, LaNorris Sellers, is up first. The game-changing playmaker is back under center for the Gamecocks in one of the most anticipated seasons in recent history. He's followed up by a man who protects him in the pocket and opens up running lanes. Cason Henry has become a leader on the offensive line, and if they want to take that next step, he'll play a key role. Pull up a chair as Stephen and Pat chat with the guys right after practice.
