How Marcus Lattimore is making a difference for the Gamecocks | The State

Four months into Marcus Lattimore’s second stint with South Carolina football, Travaris Robinson is calling the hire an unqualified success.

“He’s a sharp dude,” the Gamecocks defensive coordinator said of the Gamecock star running back turned director of player development.

Lattimore rushed for 2,677 yards for South Carolina from 2010-2012. After a brief pro career that never really got off the ground because of injuries suffered in college, Lattimore returned to Columbia where he coached Heathwood Hall’s varsity team for one season before joining his alma mater in January.

“I can see that guy one day being an athletic director,” Robinson said.
