Will it be Auburn, Clemson or Stanford for Lassiter TE?

There will be some extra drama associated with Friday night’s spring game at Lassiter.

Part of the night’s festivities will include tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen picking a college. He’ll choose between Auburn, Clemson and Stanford.

“I’ll either put a hat or t-shirt on,” said Lutzenkirchen, who won’t be able to participate in Friday evening’s contest due to a groin injury. “And one of the coaches from that college will probably be at our game.”

Without tipping his hand, the 6-foot-4, 230-pounder attempted to explain the factors that swayed his decision.

“Once I visited this one school, I fell in love with it,” he said. “I could just see myself there. It’s a really close knit program.”

Lutzenkirchen said he’s trying to maintain secrecy over his decision.

“It’s been kind of hard, but people have been guessing,” he said. “I haven’t really told anyone. Everybody just keeps guessing.

“I’m just glad I’m committing early so I can focus on my school work and football season next year.”
