Lamar Dawson to include Vols on his short list ! Video

It looks as though UT will get a visit from Lamar Dawson . He says:

"I'm going to USC, Central Florida and Tennessee and then I'll make my decision," Dawson said. "They're all great schools. I just have to find the place that's right for me."


While Dawson evaluates schools down the stretch, he acknowledges that early playing time is a key factor. Yes, he's aware that Tennessee graduates three senior linebackers --- Nick Reveiz, Savion Frazier and LaMarcus Thompson --- and that early playing time is attainable for a Vols team that played 16 true freshmen during the 2010 season.

"I want to play when I can play as a freshman so that's a big factor," said Dawson

Dawson's done more than nod his head in response to his recruitment by Tennessee coaches, including Justin Wilcox, Lance Thompson and Harry Hiestand.

"They're just great guys, down to earth. Very cool guys," he said.
