Five-star running back Marcus Lattimore (Duncan, S.C./James F. Byrnes) plans to narrow his list from the current seven schools to three, he announced earlier this week. Lattimore is perhaps South Carolina's top overall prospect for the 2010 recruiting class.
Lattimore, the No. 10 prospect on the ESPNU 150, said in early August that he had narrowed his list of approximately 30 scholarship offers down to five schools, Penn State, Oregon, South Carolina, Auburn and North Carolina.

Since that point, Lattimore's list has grown slightly.

"It's seven now," Lattimore said. "It's Oregon, Penn State, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Auburn and Florida State."

Lattimore has official visits set for Florida State (Oct. 10), Auburn (Oct. 31) and Penn State (Nov. 7).

"I'll visit Oregon sometime in January now," Lattimore said. "I haven't picked my fifth visit yet.

"Those seven schools will probably be there until I visit Oregon. I'll name a top three in January."

Lattimore plans to announce his college choice in February on National Signing Day.

Lattimore and his teammates have a huge game on Friday as Byrnes travels to the Sunshine State to take on Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas. The game, which kicks off at 8 p.m. and will be televised live by ESPNU
