Report: USC's Marcus Lattimore To Enter NFL Draft

The outstanding Gamecock running back has seen his college career beset by injuries.

South Carolina runningback Marcus Lattimore will enter the NFL draft and forgo any future college eligibility, ESPN's Joe Schad reports today.

Schaad said an announcement is coming this week.

Lattimore has been strangly absent from the Gamecock program since his horrific knee injury suffered in October against Tennessee. He didn't appear for his recognition at Williams-Brice in the Wofford game nor his own birthday celebration on the Horseshoe.

The fact that he also didn't appear at the Gamecocks' finale against Clemson also led some to question his plans.
