Foundation involvement precludes Lattimore's addition to Muschamp's staff at USC

COLUMBIA — Will Muschamp wants Marcus Lattimore to be part of the football program at South Carolina. But the head coach won’t be able to add the Gamecocks great to his staff.

USC head coach Will Muschamp will appear at nine Gamecock Club events around the state this spring:

April 28, Sumter

May 3, Greenwood

May 5, Spartanburg

May 12, Florence

Muschamp confirmed Tuesday that Lattimore, USC’s career leader in touchdowns, can’t be part of the staff due to the former running back’s ties to his foundation, which works with recruitable athletes. Muschamp had originally planned to add Lattimore in an off-field role to advise players in matters other than football.
