Cedar Shoals LB quickly commits after SEC schools fill up

Cedar Shoals linebacker DeDe Lattimore committed to South Florida.

“Coach [Wally] Burnham asked me if I was ready to be a Bull and I said yes,” Lattimore said.

Lattimore’s only official visit was to South Florida. He received an offer from Kentucky and was in close contact with Auburn, but when it came time to schedule an official visit with those two schools they told him they were full at the linebacker position.

The 6-foot-1, 220-pound senior said when recruiting first started he saw himself committing to Oklahoma State.

“I just saw myself at Oklahoma State,” he said. “They were one of the first schools to contact my coach.”

Can he play defensive end? If so, UGA should have recruited him.
