Years at HCJC/TVCC: 1993-94

In the history of the college’s football program, no quarterback has been as successful as Sellers. In two years, he lost just once, compiling a 20-1-2 record.
  Included in his impressive ledger is the college’s first national football championship in 1994, which came on the heels of a No. 4 final ranking and Real Dairy Bowl victory the year before.
  As a result of the Cardinals’ first-ever unbeaten season, Sellers received all-conference honors and was named All-America.
Sellers transferred to the University of Mexico, where he was a two-year starter at quarterback and was named all-conference as a senior. He became the first Lobo player to pass for more than 3,000 yards and rush for more than 1,000 yards in a single season.
  At New Mexico, he set college records for career completion percentage (61.6) and career passing efficiency (144.0). He also ranks fourth for career total offense with 4,492 yards.
  Sellers traveled overseas to play on the Scottish Claymores European team for two seasons. He led the Claymores to the World Bowl in 2000. He was later named to the Claymores Hall of Fame.
  He was killed in an automobile accident in 2001.
