Overview
- ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports Sellers has informed staff he plans to come back for his redshirt junior season, with a deal expected to be finalized soon.
- The move would keep the dual‑threat quarterback out of the 2026 NFL Draft for at least one more year, according to multiple outlets.
- Shane Beamer has revamped the offensive staff, hiring Briles as coordinator along with Randy Clements and Stan Drayton to reset a unit that struggled in 2025.
- Briles said he wants Sellers leading the offense and emphasized building the scheme around the quarterback’s strengths rather than forcing a rigid system.
- After a breakout 2024 and an uneven 2025 on a 4–8 team, Sellers’ expected return reduces a major potential name in the January transfer‑portal quarterback market.
