I’m a Clemson fan, but I wish him luck.
Kid’s got talent.

Carolina fan and I’m wishing him the best. Great young lad that any mother would love to have as a son or son-in-law. A champ of a fella.

Good kid. Hope he gets better and goes to the leage.

Alabama and Clemson fan here would love to see this great kid come back! Pleasure to watch. And so refreshing to see a good kid inside and out.

Fact error here. He has a regular redshirt year available. He would have to apply for and the NCAA would have to grant him a medical redshirt.
Players have five years to play four seasons. While Marcus has actually only been on the field for about two seasons over three, he has played enough in all that he has two more years in which to play one more full season.
Medical redshirt basically means you have six years to play four seasons, but again, very unlikely unless he has to rehab for the entire year. Then the NCAA would be dumb not to grant it. But Marcus only needs one more complete season to become an NFL prospect.

Also, “Lattimore’s injury is now being compared to the January 2003 knee injury suffered by former Miami standout Willis McGahee.”
Now? People were saying that, in published reports as well as among fans, from the get-go. You are a little late to the McGahee comparison, Wil. Thank you for ceasing to compare it to the high school kid who lost his leg.

Marcus is stronger than a bear. If Willis Maghee can do it, Marcus WILL do it.

Love the guy.
