"Lawson hosted Auburn assistant coach Rodney Garner for an in-school visit Thursday.
"It went well. They had a good conversation," Carl Lawson Sr. said. "We're just trying to get to know each other and we're both putting a lot of effort into it. It definitely is going well. We're getting to know him and learn about him and he's getting to know us. "Both sides are getting a feel for each other."
Lawson and his family have officially visited Clemson and Tennessee on back-to-back weekends. Of the two, Lawson Sr. said Tennessee stood out the most.
"The family was real impressed with Tennessee," he said. "The new facilities are definitely mind-boggling. Very nice."
Lawson Sr. said a final decision will likely come shortly after his visit to Auburn and before Signing Day. "We don't want to put anybody in a rough position," he said.
