South Carolina QB LaNorris Sellers Finishes Degree With Golf-Course Internship in Final Semester

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 19

Summary

  • LaNorris Sellers has completed his coursework and is spending his final semester interning at The Par Tee Golf Center in West Columbia to finish a sports and entertainment degree.
  • The South Carolina quarterback said the job involves facility-management work such as cutting grass and picking up golf balls, leaving football and the internship as his main commitments.
  • Sellers has taken similar career-focused steps before, including work with a construction group involved in Williams-Brice Stadium upgrades, and has said he is interested in engineering or building-related work after football.
  • The arrangement is presented as routine for athletes near graduation: with degree requirements nearly done, some final semesters center on internships rather than classroom attendance.
