The 2016 linebacker from Roswell, Ga., has a top group of Clemson, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi State and South Carolina in no particular order. He was in Knoxville this past fall when the Vols faced off against Alabama.
"(The stadium) was huge. Great facilities and the stadium is humongous," Lamar explained. "It was packed that game so I got to feel the full experience. The atmosphere was awesome. I've been talking to coach (graduate assistant Larry) Knight a lot so I have a good relationship with him.
"I do like Tennessee a lot. I think I'll get up there again."
Lamar sees a Vol program on the rise as sophomore quarterback Joshua Dobbs has caught his eye this past season. "I do think they are on the up-tick. Josh Dobbs, their quarterback, is just a sophomore and so he's on the upswing, too, and I think the team is going with him," Lamar said.
As for a decision-making process, the intelligent Lamar already has a plan mapped out. "I want to whittle it down little-by-little," Lamar explained. "I want a great education in the major I'm studying which will be either civil engineering or business management. So, how high those schools' educations rank will be a part of it. I want to have a good relationship with the coaches. Those are a couple of things."
