It didn’t take Cedar Shoals first-year coach Xarvia Smith long during spring practice to determine that DeDe Lattimore will anchor the Jaguars’ defense this fall.
“He’s the real deal,” said Smith, a former Camden County assistant who recently replaced longtime Cedar Shoals coach Scott Wilkins. “He’s fast and very physical.”
Lattimore, a 6-foot-1, 225-pound linebacker, bench presses 320 pounds and squats 420 pounds.
He is weighing scholarship offers from Central Florida, Clemson, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville, Marshall, Michigan, Oklahoma State and UAB.
Smith said he’s advised Lattimore to enjoy his summer while preparing for the upcoming season.
“I’ve discouraged him from going to camp,” Smith said. “Everyone already wants him. I’ve just encouraged him to have a good year and do well on his SAT.”
