USC’s MarShawn Lloyd To Miss 2020 Season

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - South Carolina freshman running back MarShawn Lloyd has suffered a torn ACL during Wednesday’s practice and will miss the entire 2020 season head coach Will Muschamp announced on Thursday.

“I’m extremely disappointed for MarShawn,” Muschamp said in a statement. “It was a non-contact situation where he just planted his foot and tore his ACL. MarShawn will attack his rehabilitation like he does everything in life. The best is yet to come for MarShawn Lloyd.”

Lloyd was the highest rated running back to sign with the Gamecocks since Marcus Lattimore being ranked as high as the 5th best running back in the 2020 class. He chose South Carolina over offers from schools like Clemson, Alabama and Notre Dame.

With adversity, most would give up on it because it’s not happening right now. Nope, stay with it! Pray more, lean on him more, talk to him more! The story is already written. You just have to trust and follow the map. Minor set back for a major comeback💯 pic.twitter.com/yQCkB2cHit
