Marcus Lattimore just got the key to this SC city

The city of Conway South Carolina honored former Gamecock running back Marcus Lattimore.

Conway Mayor Barbara Bellamy presented Lattimore with the key to city. Lattimore posted about the presentation Saturday morning, saying, “I love my state,” and that he was humbled by Conway’s recognition.

“The work will never stop!” Lattimore said.

In April, Lattimore held a free football and nutrition camp outside Conway in Myrtle Beach.

The retired running back from Duncan signed with the Gamecocks in 2010 and sparked the program’s turnaround. Lattimore was the 2010 national freshman of the year and led South Carolina to the SEC Eastern division title that year. He was beloved by the fan base and set school records.

Two college knee injuries cut his professional career short. He now works on Will Muschamp’s staff as USC’s director of player development.
