Marshawn Lloyd is playing his first season alongside Caleb Williams and the USC offense. He missed the entirety of his 2020 freshman season with a torn ACL suffered in practice and saw moderate success in the RB committee used at South Carolina in 2021 and 2022. At the conclusion of the 2022 season, Lloyd transferred from South Carolina to USC to replace Travis Dye who had graduated in 2022. Though he is a bit undersized, Lloyd plays with great agility and foot speed to go alongside a high level of effort and competitiveness.
In 2023 at USC, Lloyd rushed for 820 yards, averaging a whopping 7.1 yards per carry. He also had 9 rushing touchdowns for the Trojans.
