Seems the word is getting out the Gamecocks are good.
Marcus Lattimore has been named the AP SEC Freshman of the Year for his performance this season. Lattimore, a true freshman, finished second in rushing yards this season in the SEC with 1,198 yards with 19 total touchdowns. Lattimore set the school record for touchdowns.
Also the All-SEC first team has two Gamecocks, WR Alshon Jeffery and DE Devin Taylor. Jeffery was the SEC’s leading receiver with 79 catches for 1,387 yards, both school records. Taylor finished fourth in the league with 7.5 sacks, eighth with 12.0 tackles for loss and 15th with nine pass breakups.
Sophomore cornerback Stephon Gilmore earned a spot on the second team unit. Gilmore led the team in tackles with 71 from his cornerback position and tied for the team lead with two interceptions.
Congratulations to all four Gamecocks and they are the foundation for 2011 success.
