AU defensive line coach Rodney Garner visited with Carl Lawson father on Saturday night. Lawson was still traveling back from Orlando.
"I think he was honest. We talked slightly about the past -- even more about looking towards the future. I think it was a great first step." Lawson Sr. is also impressed with the staff Auburn has compiled. He feels the strength of the entire staff and their experience is a benefit and a plus for the Tigers.
As Lawson works through the recruiting process, Lawson Sr. confirms the Auburn commit will take visits. Where those visits will be to are yet to be determined. Ole Miss, Tennessee, North Carolina and Clemson all appear to be possibilities.
But Lawson Sr. said his son prefers a low-key atmosphere, a small-town atmosphere. Lawson Sr. admits that his son saw those characteristics in Auburn, contributing to his original commitment.
"He's quiet, he likes quiet," Lawson Sr. said. "He saw that in Auburn. He likes the campus, the fans -- but he's never de-committed from Auburn so people understand that. We'll move forward and decide if Auburn is the best fit. Auburn was his number one choice before and Auburn is still under high consideration."
