Age, early life and rise to fame

Marshon Demond Lattimore was born on May 20, 1996 in Cleveland, Ohio. He received his high school education from Glenville High School in Cleveland, where he played football in both an offensive (wide receiver) and defensive (cornerback) position. In his senior year, he caught 40 receptions for 911 yards and 16 touchdowns while helping his school qualify for the Division 11 Ohio Championship game. In recognition of his personal accomplishments, he was named the division’s Defensive Player of the Year, and the Associated Press also named him a first-team All-State.

Not surprisingly, Marshon Lattimore was courted at several colleges, but he chose Ohio State University, where he spent three years from 2014-2016. At Ohio State, Lattimore’s career was hampered by a redshirt in his freshman year and a hamstring injury in his sophomore year. However, he got a chance to shine in his sophomore year, and the Cleveland native didn’t disappoint. He started all games that year (2016 season) and recorded 41 tackles (30 solos), one loss, four stoppages and 13 passes defended. His strong showing was enough to catch the NFL’s attention despite only having one full season, and he was ranked the #1 cornerback by draft by ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc.

NFL career

Marshon Lattimore lived up to the predictions and was selected in the very first round of the 2017 draft by the New Orleans Saints. He was the 11th overall winner that year and the Saints signed a four-year, $15,350,000 deal. Although he was only a beginner, the Saints gave him ample opportunities to play and he rewarded their faith in him. In 13 total games for the Saints (all of which he started), he made 53 tackles (44 solos), one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, five interceptions for 85 yards and 18 passes defended as the Saints ranked first their division came to the finish and qualified for the playoffs.

Marshon Lattimore comes from a sporting family. His mother, Felicia Killebrew, had brothers who were football players, while his father, Marland Lattimore, was a brilliant quarterback in high school. His father was so good that he got a scholarship to Central State University in Ohio. Unfortunately, his career was cut short by a knee injury in his first year. Like his father, Lattimore had nearly curtailed his own injury dreams. He suffered an ongoing hamstring injury in his freshman and sophomore years, but was able to fully recover and continue his career.

There’s no indication that Lattimore has a brother, but if there’s one person he considers a brother, it’s Chris Worley, who is linebacker for the Cincinnati Bengals. Both Lattimore and Worley grew up watching football games together as kids, eventually playing at the same high school and college.
