Move over, Michael Oher. Now, there’s another former SEC football star who’s heading for the movie screen — at least in Gamecocks country.
Former South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore is appearing in a movie, “Faith’s Song,” as reported by The State newspaper of Columbia, S.C.
The movie, made by Northface Christian Films, opens today. Lattimore plays himself, but in the role of a pastor, so don’t expect many scenes of him flattening linebackers.
The movie has limited distribution. It’s playing in Columbia and a small number of other locations around South Carolina.
