Lassiter’s Wentz commits to Stanford
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A single visit to Stanford was all it took for Lassiter offensive lineman Camden Wentz to realize he’ll be calling the Cardinal’s campus his home for the next four years, beginning in 2009.
“Camden just decided to [commit] early,” Lassiter coach Greg Dirst said. “He just fell in love when went out there for junior day.
“He told me he really liked it, so he decided to pull the trigger.”
Georgia Tech was among the schools heavily recruiting the Lassiter center, who committed to Stanford earlier this week.
“Other people in the mix for Camden were Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech,” Dirst said. “All those guys were going to offer him.”
Went, a starter at Lassiter since his sophomore season, will likely play center or guard for the Cardinal.
“He’s 6-foot-4, but most of the tackles in the PAC 10 are 6-7 or 6-8,” Dirst said. “He’s got good enough feet to play tackle, but I imagine he’ll be an interior lineman.”
Stanford’s academic reputation played a major role in Wentz’s decision.
“He’s a real good student and he has a very high GPA,” Dirst said. “The academics attracted him. And he’s always wanted to play football at the next level.”
