Florida State offers Lassiter tight end

Lassiter’s Philip Lutzenkirchen received a pleasant surprise on Thursday when he picked up the phone and called the Florida State coaching staff.

“They offered me even though I hadn’t received one letter from them,” the 6-foot-4, 230-pound tight end/linebacker said. “It was kind of out of the blue.

“I haven’t even visited there. I’ll probably visit them sometime this summer.”

Lutzenkirchen, who already had scholarship offers from Auburn, Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, Stanford and Troy, said he’ll settle on a school by June.

“I like Auburn a lot, but I’m still open to everything,” he said. “My dad really wants me to go out to California, not this weekend but the following weekend, to visit Stanford and California.”

On who is recruiting him the hardest: “Georgia Tech,” he said. “I get a lot of letters from them. Stanford is recruiting me hard too. And FSU has started e-mailing me a lot. I talked to Auburn today on the phone. They really like me.”

On his best visit this spring: “I liked Auburn and liked meeting all the coaches at Georgia Tech,” he said. “And I really like Auburn’s campus. It is really pretty.”
