Alpharetta, Georgia defensive end Carl Lawson is one of the hotter names on the recruiting trail. The peach state product has been and is still committed to Auburn, but that hasn't prevented visits. After going to Clemson last weekend, he was in Knoxville to see the Vols this weekend.
"It was a great visit," Lawson said. "I learned how great their fans are and how big the city is. They have so much tradition there and a great history. You can just see it everywhere you look. It's a valuable program."
Like most weekends, prospects were tweeting and instagramming their pictures out from the Tennessee locker room. Lawson and several others were sporting their jerseys that Tennessee uses in it's presentation to what could be each prospects football future. It's actually the past that stood out to Lawson.
"I love all of their former players," Lawson said. "Sure I know who Reggie White is, but they have such a great history here. You can see it."
Lawson spent time with Tennessee head coach Butch Jones and the top Vol made it clear that Lawson is very important to his inaugural recruiting class.
"I get a good feeling with coach Jones," Lawson said. "He's a really good guy and he's won everywhere he's been. He's a cool guy and I feel like he relates well to the players."
Also on the visit was his friend and former teammate Ryan Jenkins. Already committed to Tennessee, Jenkins has let it be known that he wants Lawson in orange and white, but doesn't pressure him.
"He's always cool when we hang out," Lawson said. "It does help that he's committed to there, but I have to make the decision that is best for me. He's always just my friend and he doesn't pressure me."
Lawson was hosted by Tennessee offensive tackle Antonio "Tiny" Richardson. He spent time with a lot of the players and coaches, but Richardson made an impression.
"He told me how everything is there," Lawson said. "He's a cool dude and a person I like because he is focused on his craft."
Rivals.com rates Lawson as a 5-star defensive end in the class of 2013.
