Columbia, SC (WLTX) - USC running back Marcus Lattimore will hold a news conference Wednesday afternoon where he'll address his future plans.

He'll make his remarks at 4 p.m. at Williams-Brice Stadium. USC Head Coach Steve Spurrier will join him at the podium. WLTX will carry the event live on television.

Sources close to Lattimore told the Associated Press and ESPN Tuesday that the junior running back plans to enter the 2013 NFL Draft.

Lattimore has been recovering since suffering damage to the tendons in his knee during the Tennessee game. It was the second straight year Lattimore had been injured during the season, causing him to miss the remainder of the schedule.

Lattimore has 2,677 career rushing yards, which is sixth in school history. He has 41 total touchdowns and 38 rushing touchdowns, which are both school records.
