Guys, I spoke earlier with South Mecklenberg (NC) class of 2017 DE Jake Lawler, No. 244 in the Rivals250. Lawler was at VT's camp June 14, where he picked up his offer from the Hokies. Lawler now has six offers, the most recent one from North Carolina. Other offers are from Duke, NC State, Wake Forest and Charlotte.

It's a little too early for favorites here, but Lawler said the four schools recruiting him hardest are UNC, Duke, VT and Clemson. And the Tar Heels are the biggest one to watch. Both of Lawler's parents attended UNC and he loves the atmosphere there.

VT is in this one and will stay in it because Lawler said that's the school that gave him the earliest interest. He was also at the spring game and said of the coaching staff, "They really know what they're doing." He said assistant coach Shane Beamer is the primary recruiter, but Lawson talks more with defensive coordinator Bud Foster more than anyone. So that's obviously a plus.

Clemson is also worth watching, since he mentioned them without the Tigers having offered. Lawler camped there for three days over the summer.

Right now, the visits Lawler has planned are to VT for the Ohio State game, to the UNC/Duke game Nov. 7 in Chapel Hill and to a Clemson game. the last one isn't planned. After watching Lawler at the Hokies' camp, he's legit. So this one would be one of the bigger steals from NC if they can get him.
