  • Dude is a beast. Interior running, running in traffic, change of direction, and acceleration are something I wish I knew about before he went to SC. Great highlight film.

  • What highschool did he go to

  • @kflores54 Byrnes Highschool.

  • Even though marcus aint the fastest gut in the world he sure is one of the best!

  • @IIKarail gale sayers naw he has some footwork like him and vision like him but noway near the speed of sayers he is more like ricky williams

  • 6 people must be from clemtech or some other SEC school!! Glad to have you as a Gamecock, Marcus, and a legitimate Heisman contender for 2011!

  • He Reminds Me Of Gale Sayers A Little Bit

  • those high schoolers tackle better than georgia haha

  • check out spencer stein crazzyzyyzyzyzy

  • do u know zoie lattimore

  • Dyer is better than Lattimore....Lattimore (IS) South Carolina's run game, without him they can't do nothing, not trying to put him or SC down in any kind of way, but if you look at Dyer, he is in a run oriented team, a team who runs the ball 70% of the time. In both games against SC, Dyer outrushed SC whole team in rushing yards, not saying Lattimore suck, just saying that Dyer is a better RB who can run inbetween tackles with no problem, and he always gain yds after contact.

  • @auburnboi4lyfe Without him they can do nothing? If I recall correctly and I know that I do, Alshon absolutely pulled his pants down and crapped on your secondary when you were keying in on Lattimore the entire game. So that pretty much negates your argument that all we can do is hand off the ball to Lattimore. Alshon was a consensus first team all american but then again I guess all we can do is hand off to Lattimore so they just had to give that award to someone else.

  • @AuburnBoi4Lyfe And as far as Dyer goes yes he is a good back but he is not Marcus Lattimore. You had Cam Newton (who is an absolute beast) to keep the defense honest the whole game. I bet I could of gotten 100 yards rushing with him on my team. We will see how Dyer does this year without Cam but I guarantee you it won't be what Marcus Lattimore does this season.

  • @AuburnBoi4Lyfe what you just said about Dyer, Lattimore does too, Lattimore gains rushing yards after contact a lot, like in the Georgia game, where he ad 127 yards after contact...... All you guys really had was Cam Newton, without Cam Newton, yall wouldnt have been anything. so you really cant argue the 2, your defense was a lot better than ours this year, so its hard to compare them head 2 head, when Dyer is going against a weaker defense and Lattimore is going against Nick Fairley.

  • there WR was a lot better... just saying

  • @TheI3oob Better than the NCAA freshman of the year? I don't think so...maybe better at WR

  • haha thats my school at 1:11 getting punished, but I must say Lattimore is a fuckin monster :P

  • Comment removed

  • And he is still making highlights!. Welcome to USC.

  • 207 3 scores vs Florida

  • half the time he is jogging hahah

  • @aurush4, trust me it was a fluke they circled this game all summer they had Bama after a bye at home, dude they lost to Kentucky the next week and barely beat Vanderbilt, that's why no one really made a big deal over that win, but the last 2 weeks proved what we all know you guys are not that good, and if we both make it to Atlanta u would not bet against Bama I know u wouldn't!!

  • @Harlem139Convent1 You know with a healthy Lattimore we pound both Kentucky and Vandy. He was healthy vs Bama and look what happened! Not saying we would beat Bama again because they are a great team and we would have to beat them at a neutral site, but we are the best team in the east. I want Auburn. We would have a better chance at them I believe.

  • @Harlem139Convent1 This is a lattimore video and you are talking about the 2 games lattimore was injured.. When he was in the game at kentucky, carolina was raping them, then he got injured 2nd half (along with alshon) and we've been struggling since. He'll be back tomorrow though.

  • @Harlem139Convent1 not that good, huh?  We shall see.

  • @holysnipe what happen to ur choke cocks, and lattimore they suck. They got up for one game they had circled since last hear they were coming off a bye had two weeks to prepare and were at home, but what a diff. A week make the chickens choked again, we learned what the rest of the country already knew the game against bama was a fluke win, if they play again they will get destroyed!!!!

  • @Harlem139Convent1

    choke cocks??? Is that what you enjoy with daddy when mommy's not around? Get ready to eat shit once we beat tenn and clinch the east vs Arkansas.

  • @Harlem139Convent1 you can say "fluke" all you want but they won by 2 touchdowns and were sacking mccelroy all day long. great teams don't have "fluke" games where they lose by multiple possessions.

  • @Harlem139Convent1

    someones scared for december, talk shit get hit

  • I love me some Lattimore. I'm not a Gamecock fan but I've been to more then a few byrnes games and can say Marcus is a good POWER BACK but theres not one he can get 37 carries a game. South Carolinas going to run the leader of there team to death.

  • Come on I think he's good, but he had 37 carries, let's see what he does against Florida and Alabama's defense.

  • @Harlem139Convent1

    yeah against alabamas defense. gamecocks won he can runat bamas defense all day

  • GAME

    COCKS

  • @packers96champs LMAO HELL YEAH EVERYBODY WAS HYPE IN THE 803

  • remeber playin this dude. Strong ass fucker and i was a 230lbs d-end lol still fumbles a good bit tho

  • 4:10 #71 loses helmet and keeps running and makes the tackle lol.

  • he just ran all over ga today as a true freshman. future heisman trophy winner.

  • have 2 give credit wear its due

    im a bulldogs fan

    had a amazing game 2day against the bulldogs really good back

  • this true freshman just leveled the ga bulldogs today...rushed for 184 yards on 34 carries...wow

  • Future top 10 NFL pick, for sure. He's already doing great things with SC.

  • go cocks

  • Anybody on this thread catch the game last night? Lattimore is not real big, but he runs tough (2 touchdowns)and with the exception of one play always made positive yardage on every carry. Georgia, Tenn., FL., should be very concerned because he did well for his first college game and wasn't the main reason for the win. Saw all kinds of weapons that will only improve as the season progresses.

  • @daoriginalaidaman just to let you know, right now your being proven completely wrong

  • I know this guy is good, but this defense is absolutely awful. They tackle like little girls, and look like they are chickens running with their heads cut off.

  • @mrbuttman36 its High School defense.... are you expecting them to be playing like a college defense? Lattimore rushed for 54 yards and 2 touchdowns in his first College Career. Hes gonna do big things for Carolina.

  • @Drewbul1 I said the guy was good Drew ("I know this guy is good"), but even for high school this defense is awful. It's actually funny. Go back and watch the tape, they aren't even trying to tackle him, they are just running in circles. It's hard to tell how good he will be based on this. They do have a legit shot at beating Florida this year, though.

  • @mrbuttman36 Some of these plays tho can consist of blown plays by the defense, When they play Dorman, Summerville, Sumter, and scrimmage South Pointe, those are schools that have some powerful defenses. Its like that for almost every highschool in the country. Ha we will be good against alot of teams this year, the SEC has something to look out for, Marcus had 54 yards...and 2 TDs in his first college game. hes pretty good

  • @daoriginalaidaman And you just have more bulk, fatty.

  • @daoriginalaidaman he was 16 in these clips, he looks like a pretty big 16 year old to me haha.....and from reading articles about this kid the last few weeks it sounds like he's going to play a lot in their opener, they also said he's the only back to stay healthy through the preseason for the gamecocks.....pretty sure he's bigger and stronger two years removed from this video

  • this video is junior year for everyone that doesnt know 2008 it is now 2010

  • Looks like your average running back to me. Ok break away speed, not that shifty, and a bit of a fumbler.

    I've heard huge things about the guy but watching this doesn't make me feel amazed.

  • 6:42

  • anybody know if hes being redshirted

  • GOOD LOOKING BACK. NEEDS TO WORK ON SPEED AND FINISHING RUN IN THE OFF SEASON. VERY GOOD POWER BACK. VERY STRONG AND ELUSIVE.

  • he already looks like he belongs in the nfl, very smooth running style, he'll be a top pick one day trust me

  • i think his best future is being able to follow his blocks and read them

  • UGA GON SPANK DAT ASS

  • he needs to work on covering up the rock not only did he fumble a lot in the st thomas aquinas game, but he has in a lot of other games, you can tell just by the way he holds onto the ball, he cradles it, i bet the college running back coaches are gonna work on taht with him, but everything else is great

  • look at 2:16 in idreis augustus senior highlight tape.... TRUE BEAST!!!!!!

  • hes nice but if you want "sick" search idreis augustus. WOW!!!!! crazy elusiveness

  • hes good but too bad south carolina sucks hairy balls

  • @josekilla23 So do you

  • We are Lattimores! go Marcus! We Lattimores got your back! Love you!

  • quarter back is also very good

  • He's playing against the highest classification in South Carolina against some of the best teams in South Carolina. Also this is his junior year.

  • glad your comin to carolina!!

  • o and his change of direction is amazingly good which is needed for the SEC BIG TIME

  • countyLT you must be drunk or watching a different video cause he breaks away like 7 times

  • Look up Ace Sanders. Thats a kid who can make the big play

  • ok. . .Im glad Lattimore is use to running from shotgun, cause thats all he"ll do at Carolina with our O'line. But I see yet again we recruited a RB too slow to break away and one who can't break tackles. If you cant do those two things in H.S. how you gonna do it in the SEC against Florida or Bama'

  • Mark Ingram doesn't have break away speed either. Go watch Trent Richardson's high schools clips they're not much more impressive

  • who the hell is trent richardson? lol. And your right ingram doesnt have that speed. But he was running behind Bama's line not S. Car. I've been watching the Gamecocks for almost 20 years. Don't count on us getting those gapping holes

  • btw I do know richardson. I just don't care to compare Lattimore to every Alabama running back

  • Comment removed

  • sydates i hate to say it but elite acceleration is what he needs to work on the most :D.. He Breaks tackle like King Kong on Beaver Tranquilizers though. I really cant wait to see this kid next year!!! AND I WANNA SEE HOW CONNOR SHAW TURNS OUT AS A QB.

  • Countylt76,You must not have seen Lattimore play.This young man has the speed to play D1 and he will break many tackles.Scott and Rival did not rate him the number one back in the country cause his name is Marcus.I was at most of his games the last 4 years and he gets the job done.Even Corey Miller tennessee commit and Brandon Willis North Carolina commit had trouble bringing down Latt during pratice the last 3 years at Byrnes.

  • Comment removed

  • @MrChazT I don't know any Scott website. . .but Im just saying in this highlight tape he doesnt break away a single time. Even on his long runs he's getting caught from behind

  • CountyLT76,I don't think you payed much attention to this video because he broke many tackles and out ran defensive backs.

  • you know what, i hope im wrong. I hope he's the next Hershel Walker or George Rogers and leads Carolina to a national championship. I just don't want to get my hopes up and be dissapointed

  • @CountyLT76 You are by far one of the worst trolls i have ever seen

  • RE:johnking303 considering this is in his junior year and he outsizes seastrunk and would just mow him down i doubt it.

  • Andre Ellington> Marcus Lattimore

  • Haha Seastrunk better

  • this guy is great no doubt, but I am happy to have seastrunk with my ducks!

  • it would have been nice to get im at auburn. but i dont blame him for choosing usc. at auburn we have michael dyer, onterio mccalebb, eric smith, and mario fannin all who can play rb. so really its not hurting us that we didnt get him. he will break records for usc.

  • And what qualifies you to rate high school athletes?

  • What school are you a fan of?

    Because if you are a tater then 34-17. But if not then you are just mad that your piece of shit school didn't get him.

  • yo search devin spence....... the kid is for real...... provincial junior MVP...... all conference team......all provincial team

  • i can see that he is a good back, but i REALLY dont see why hes a five star... hes gonna do well for spurrier but 10th in the country? cmon..

  • Why is he so highly ranked? Because he played on one of the top 10 teams in the country in HS, playing against top competition and he dominated them. He's got very good size, balance and has good speed, though it's not top flight speed like Lache Seastrunks. He has the ability to make you miss in space while also being able to run you over if necessary. He is a work horse who can carry the ball 30 times a game if necessary.

  • HES GONNA MAKE THE GAMECOCKS UNDEFEATED FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS. I LOVE YOU MARCUS AND WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!!! ( no homo)

  • Wow there's some serious sour grapes Auburn fans in here.

  • I was really hoping to get him but oh well. Nothing lost on our part. Its not like he would have even played until his junior year at Auburn because we have so much talent at running back. Probably a good decision because south carolina can't run the ball a lick and needs a little help. Maybe he can help them get a little jump start. He will be their star in the next couple years

  • Dont worry. yall got Michael dyer. Hes gonna be the next frank gore.

  • At least he didn't go to Alabama's little sister school, Allbarn.

  • @bdsnsc yea he just went to a doormat team for the sec. look at it this way, yall are better tha miss st., vandy, and MAYBE kentucky... and alabama's little sister? that's wierd cuz in the last 10 years auburn is 7-3 vs the team from the north

  • lol yeah you're right, we MIGHT be better than Kentucky, it's hard to say tho, I mean we've only beat them ten straight years in a row. You're a f#cking retard

  • south carolina is absolutely better than kentucky. we have beaten them 10 times in a row. we are on par with tennessee, arkansas, and ole miss. yeah, yall have beaten bama a good bit but bama is a new animal with saban as their coach.

  • sucks he'll be a shamecock

  • GAMMMEE!!!! COOOCCCKKS!!!!!

    nothing but bright things for carolina football. the sun is shining bright today.

  • He's goin to Carolina C*cks*ckers!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEE

  • go gamecocks !!!

  • first off auburns system is good for a nfl style rb. better than south carolina's based on the fact that south carolina never runs the ball, but it could go either way. i hope he goes to auburn

  • hahahahahahah fuck u he just signed to sc!!! ajahahahahahahahahahah

  • @aim844 south carolina's offense is balanced so we do run the ball a good bit, but our o-line isnt very good so we're forced to pass. and yes he just committed to us so i hope we see good things from him

  • dude south carolina DOES run the ball.. alot lol? spurriers main goal is to have a beast running game.

    sometimes we give up on the run when its not working.

  • Future Gamecock!

  • HE NEED TO COME TO AUBURN THE MAN SAID IT HIS SELF HE WANNA RUN OUT THE WILDCAT ALABAMA CHEATED LAST YEAR WITH RICHARDSON IN INGRAM WHY WE CANT HAVE MICHEAL DYERS N MARCUS MARIO FANNIN McCALEB IN DA BACK FIELD

  • Marcus is a smart kid. He has to do what's best for him. Auburn's system is better for him to get to the NFL compared to South Carolina. The only thing that I believe would pull him to South Carolina would be his family, friends, and being true to the state. I just don't believe that he can be too successful at South Carolina because they don't run the ball!

  • He won't be going to Auburn since they recruited Dyer, and dyer wouldn't have gone to auburn if they had recruited Lattimore. Penn State wouldn't be a bad option, but it's certain that auburn and oregon are out of the running since they recruited other 5 star backs

  • Umm its down to USCe and Auburn? He eliminated Penn State and Oregon already. But Dyers decision doesnt have any effect on Lattimore, since he would like to share carries.

  • @philaufan6 you are absolutely right. I'm a south carolina fan and i think auburn is a better fit for his skills than scar because we don't run the ball. every year spurrier says we are going to run more, but it never happens. Auburn is a great fit for lattimore's skills with malzahn. The only thing is like you say family and friends. his sister went to scar and he grew up a gamecock fan. if he wants to be true to his family and friends, its scar. if he goes for football, its auburn.

  • i have to disagree. Auburns offensive system is not anywhere near built to get a RB ready for the NFL. the only team running a similar system is the Miami Dolphins. South Carolina is a Pro Style attack offense that is going to allow marcus to catch out of the backfield, and run out of the gun. Byrnes and Dorman have similar offensive styles lattimore said that himself.

  • Well I will always be a Marcus fan wherever he goes.

  • exuse me i meant Byrnes and South Carolina. not byrnes and dorman.

  • yo u gotta check out this kid Anthony Galletti hes dirty

  • Join our Auburn FAMILY Marcus!!

  • Also, our rivals guy Jeffrey Lee is hardly ever wrong ab recruits coming to auburn.. and he has Lat as 80%.. and just like Eric Mack.. remember him? 4 star offensive lineman..well he was committed to SC and then Auburn landed him.. Come on folks you obviously dont follow recruiting too well.. Latt is an Auburn lock

  • he isnt hardly ever wrong, he hasnt been wrong so far. Buckle up buddy and prepare for the ride! WDE

  • @WarEagle7000

    Whoopsy Daisy.........

  • What I dont understand is that when Mike Ferrell from Rivals interviewed latt on Amp weekly i believe.. Ferrell asked Latt, " so tell me about South Carolina.. Many believe they are the fron runner for you, is that true?" Then Latt replied saying, "honestly, if I was going to South Carolina, I would have already been committed to them.." Then he asked Latt ab Auburn and his face lit up and he couldnt say enough ab it...

  • War Eagle Marcus!

  • WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!

  • Watch the whole marcus lattimore video with the man talk about what school he should go to and it will tell you the story watch the whole video

  • I am sorry but he is going to south carolina

  • Amanda, just because South Carolina fans haven't posted on here has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with whose fans are better.

  • If Marcus would look at the fan base he already has at Auburn i mean look at the comments dont see south car. on here anywhere ??? GO TO AUBURN MARCUS!!!!!

  • WATR EAGLE mARCUS!! Jin us on the plains!

  • auburn could have a carnell williams ronnie brown type thing michael dyer and marcus lattimore War eagle

  • hopefully we can get a michael Dyer marcus lattimore thing going.

  • A RB is only as good as his OL. He has a great OL there at Byrnes. Auburn will have one of the best lines in the SEC next year. Also with big Eric Mack committing today it will only get better for this young man on the Plains. War Eagle!

  • yes baby War Eagle!!

  • BEAST

  • Deffinitly auburn

  • @ShootYerEyeOut

    He'll definitely take an official visit there Sep 25th 2010.......

  • this guy reminds me alot of jonathan dwyer. he has good size and is very powerful

  • Would put up MASSIVE numbers at Auburn. Hope he is an addition to the Auburn family on Feb 2.

    WDE

  • His like is fucking amazing.

    Pause at 7:46

  • Hate to break it to you PSU fans but he is a South Carolina fan

  • As much as i want him to go to Oregon. I don't know how great he would be in the spread offense

  • you already got LaMichael James whos a beast, this guy is overrated any ways, not saying hes not good but after watching these highlights he doesnt look like a 5 star recruit to me. go check out brandon bourbon, he runs faster than this guy, benches more, Squats more, sure he plays against weak teams but he is a beast. plus you guys already got Dontae Williams.

  • True, we're loaded

  • you go for Oregon right. Good new, once lattimore commits to Au lache will lose all interest in AU and will probably be a sure thing to be headed to Oregon.

  • Yeah i would assume...yay

  • PSU looks right for him I think, especially with Royster leaving next year, he'll be in a prime position to lead PSU to some big games his sophomore with the new rebuilding PSU Team.

  • Auburn and S. Carolina would be a mistake. If he wants to become a rock star he should go to either Penn State or Georgia.

  • @lucious1224 That's the stupidest comment i've ever heard.

  • @thundrlzd30 Why? Because you are an Auburn or S.C. fan? At Auburn he runs the good chance of riding the bench the majority of his career. Do you know how many recruiters talk about duel-backs? It's a recruiting ploy and rarely actually happens. S.C. just doesn't have the talent around him. PSU is #6 in recruiting and UGA is #10. S.C. is #31. My guess is your ignorance prompted your response. I forgive you.

  • @lucious1224 So i guess he wouldn't sit the bench behind caleb king and easely? he has a better chance of playin at AU or USCe. I guarantee you that he doesn't select georgia. Their program is unstable and Richt might be gone if he has another mediocre season. He might head to penn st but he wants to be close to home so USCe and AU are his leaders.

  • @thundrlzd30 You make a good point. PSU is probably the best bet for him. Their starting running back will be a senior next year and I don't think they have a lot of depth at that position. He would likely see playing time as a freshman and start as a sophomore. For his sake, I hope his desire to stay close to home does not hurt his future. I'm a Florida fan, so I hope he stays in the SEC, but that's probably not what is best for him. I guess only time will tell.

  • No, you are wrong. Not only is PSU not the best fit, but it's probably too far away from the south. Auburn's starting back is already a senior and SC don't even have a feature back.

  • Ummm Auburn dont have a starting back. Ben Tate went o the NFL draft.

  • i know he is a senior right now.

  • yea, but by the time marcus would get here, Tate would be gone.

  • i know

  • he alredy deleted UGA from contention. You are correct.

  • You're ignorant, SC or AU.

  • type in marlboro county reggie bush..this guy is way better than lattimore

  • he good

  • he good

  • I hope he comes to auburn!! War Eagle!

  • wow, he's got some sick Ball carrier vision and good speed.

  • Lattimore has all but said Auburn is his leader. Dyer is recruiting him hard. He said he loved everything about Auburn and that he compares himself to Ronnie Brown. It's going to come down to Auburn and South Carolina for him.

  • Sorry folks but he is going to be a Dawg. UGA bound

  • he's coming to FSU...he wants to play with jeff luc, lamarcus joyner, kenny shaw, matt elam, de'joshua johnson, and greg dent

  • Come to Carolina

  • FSU baby

  • I hope Marcus Lattimore commits to Auburn then him and Dyer could be like Ronnie Brown and Cadillac if not better. This guy is amazing.

  • yes suh, its the second coming!

  • hopefully him or seastrunk commits to auburn. auburn will probably get 1 of em giving us 2 top 3 RB's in this recruiting class

  • seastrunk wants to go to the west coast. prolly usc. and south carolina has been way up high on lattimore's list for a while. but it looks like lattimore keeps leaning toward au more and more. if he and cameron newton come to auburn we will catapult up in the recruiting rankings. prolly past those bammers.

    -WDE

  • yeah, but im not sure seastrunk wants to go to a school with a lot of runningbacks there already and 3 in USC's class so far. Lattimore said if he wanted to commit to south carolina he would've done it already.

  • yeah. usc is just in lache's top. along with ucla. but wherever it goes, it will be far away from alabama. and lattimore was supposedly close to commitment with south carolina. but they screwed it up (imagine that) and now auburn is top

    -WDE

  • Drewbul1....i think you may have gotten miles and maddox mixed up. miles is nothing like a fb, especially since he's about 5'9". Miles makes some pretty decent cuts and is much quicker than Maddox. Maddox is the one that needs to run like a fullback since he is a bigger back.

  • if lattimore along with the committed 3 espn 150 all american linemen coming to carolina. with lattimore, maddox, and miles in the backfield its game over with our ptoential blocking and with garcia throwing the ball to gurley and jefferys the offense will be unstoppable

  • you see, you need an offensive line.

  • And his offensive linemen actually block for him... Cause im one of them!
