COLUMBIA, S.C. -- People familiar with the decision say injured South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore will enter the NFL draft.
One
person said Monday that Lattimore is expected to announce his decision
later this week. The people spoke with The Associated Press on condition
of anonymity because there has not been an official announcement of
Lattimore's decision.
The running back suffered a horrific injury
to his right knee against Tennessee on Oct. 27. Doctors say Lattimore
had successful surgery to repair several ligaments on Nov. 2.
Lattimore
injured his left knee in 2011 as a sophomore. He rushed for 662 yards
and 11 touchdowns this season, both team highs. He is South Carolina's
career leader with 41 touchdowns.
