Will Georgia offer Lassiter’s Lutzenkirchen?

Auburn, Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, Stanford and Troy have each extended scholarship offers to Lassiter junior tight end/linebacker Philip Lutzenkirchen

“As for a front-runner, I really like Auburn and Georgia Tech,” the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Lutzenkirchen said.

He’s anxious to see if Clemson and Georgia will offer.

“I was up there in Athens this past Friday and went to Clemson on Saturday,” he said. “I really enjoyed Clemson. I’m hoping they’ll offer. That’s one of my top schools.

“As for Georgia, I know they didn’t get the tight end they wanted in the class of 2008. I think they’ll offer a tight end, but I don’t know if it will be me. I’m getting a pretty good vibe, but don’t really know if they’ll offer because of their lack of scholarships.”

Lutzenkirchen, who plans to attend upcoming junior days at Auburn and Vanderbilt, is debating whether to travel to Miami in April.

“I know Miami has wanted me to come down there,” he said. “I might go down there during my spring break, but I’m just not sure.”

Lutzenkirchen is being recruited by Tech as an athlete.

“[Tech assistant] coach [Brian] Bohannon is a good guy,” he said. “He and I have a very good relationship.

“And coach [Paul] Johnson is an all-around good guy. He’s easy to talk to. He’s not stubborn or arrogant like you’d think some coaches would be. I went down their last Thursday [for the Tech-Clemson basketball game] and we talked about 25 minutes.”
