Gamecocks freshman running back Marshawn Lloyd tore his left ACL in practice Wednesday and will miss the season, South Carolina Athletics confirmed to the media Thursday afternoon.
"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 suffered the injury on Wednesday and it was confirmed on Thursday that the ACL was torn.
A former five-star prospect, Lloyd signed with the Gamecocks last December and enrolled in January with massive expectations.
From head coach Will Muschamp to running backs coach Des Kitchings to other players, Lloyd has been unanimously hailed as being an instant impact player for the Gamecocks this season.
A five-star prospect from Wilmington, Del. who played at DeMatha Catholic in Maryland, Lloyd was considered the third-best player in Maryland, the fourth-best running back in the country and No. 33 overall prospect by Rivals.
