Marshon Demond Lattimore was born on May 20, 1996 in Cleveland, Ohio.

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.

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.
