"So far I like it. I liked the facilities and everything," Lashley said. "I spent a lot of the time with the offensive line coach, coach (Don) Mahoney. He was use telling me about how much he liked me and that's really it."
"Coach Gillespie was really talking to me and we had formed a relationship and he had just told me how it was and I wanted to see how it was for myself and it was over the top," Lashley said.
"I really liked the facilities. Compared to others it's really nice," Lashley said. "For facilities, they are the best ones that I've seen so far. Just when I first walked in and saw the indoor facility (he liked it)."
"Coach Butch Jones wanted to see me up in his office. So, I went up there and he had already offered me less than a month ago and he just wanted to see me and talk a little football and find some common ground, Lashley said. "We were able to talk about a relationship with me and him."
