South Carolina assistant football Bobby Bentley has worked with a few good runners in his day.

He’s managed the Gamecocks backfield the past two years. He coached in the high school ranks for a long time, including Marcus Lattimore’s era with Byrnes High School football.

So how does early enrollee freshman Lavonte Valentine compare to the guys he’s worked with?

“I think he’s probably faster than any of them, just straight-line fast,” Bentley said. “I think it’s going to be great to have him in our room.”
