She earned her bachelor’s degree during that time and transferred to Seton Hall for her final year of NCAA eligibility, where she had a breakout season and was named to the All-Big East first-team.

Meanwhile, Sellers finished her senior season with solid stats, as she averaged 14.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists. Her strong performances placed her in the conversation as a potential top 10 pick in several 2025 WNBA mock drafts.
