MarShawn Lloyd to miss 2020 season
After rumors swirled on social media Thursday, the Gamecocks announced freshman running back MarShawn Lloyd will miss the entire 2020 season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee during Wednesday’s practice.
“I’m extremely disappointed for MarShawn,” said Coach Muschamp. “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, a 5-9, 210-pounder from Wilmington, Del., was a highly-regarded recruit who enrolled at South Carolina in January and went through the abbreviated spring drills after graduating from DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Md. Rivals considered him the fourth-best running back in the country and No. 33 overall. 247Sports tabbed him as the fifth-best running back in the country and No. 43 overall.
No date for surgery has been set.
