Marcus Lattimore is the most loved player at USC and possibly the nation. To see him come back from last year's injury early was inspiring. He is so fun to watch and a great player. But ever greater off the field. He is so humble and just loves the Lord so much.
Last Saturday, during the Tennessee game, to see him down on the field, not getting up broke my heart. He had just worked so hard to come back and there he was again, injured. Tears came to my eyes as I realized how bad it was. Tears started falling as the entire team walked out on the field in support of their teammate. Tears kept falling as half of the Tennessee team also came out on the field to support an injured player. This picture just shows how much Lattimore is loved, supported and respected, not only by USC but by college football.
Tweets from all over started pouring in showing their support for Marcus. This man is so loved by so many people. The Monday after the game was his 21st birthday. Student Government hosted a Birthday Rally for Marcus. President Pastides, Coach Spurrier, Kenny Miles, Dylan Thompson and others spoke and we sang to Marcus. My favorite part is the we prayed twice. The Lord is using Marcus and this injury for His good and His glory and I am sure Marcus knows that and loves it. Today at the mall there were signs saying Get Well Marcus and signs for fans to write notes to him. Marcus Lattimore is so loved by Gamecock Nation and we can't wait to see him back on the field in 2014!
Get well soon Marcus! Can't wait to see you at Williams-Brice again soon.
xoxo
