Galaxy S7 Android Nougat update
After the four major US Carriers (Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T) rolled out the Android Nougat updates for their Galaxy S7 handsets last month (March 2017) it seems like US Cellular has finally caught up with the pack. The Nougat update that US Cellular is rolling out for the S7 is exactly the same version as that of the other carriers, so don't get your hopes up that the long wait meant that you'll be getting a slightly more advanced update.

If your device hasn't yet received the update and you're impatient to try it out already, you can also flash your device using a custom ROM - but doing so will likely void your warranty, so it's not especially recommended, particularly as the Nougat update will certainly arrive shortly. If despite this, you still want to try it out, XDA developers forum has a custom ROM you can use.
