Dexter Lawrence to Trim List Next Month

Scout’s Michael Clark caught up with 2016 5-star Defensive Tackle Dexter Lawrence today, and the Wake Forest High standout told him that he hopes to trim his list to 10 schools by mid to late September.

“I’ll probably release my top 10 sometime in mid to late-September,” Dexter Lawrence said. “Right now, I’m just evaluating all my options.  It’s definitely going to be pretty hard to cut it ten schools.  I’m not sure what schools will make the list.” (Scout)

Lawrence is the #10 player in the 2016 recruiting class according to Scout’s database, but Rivals ranks him as the top player in the class.  He told Clark that he had developed the closest relationships with two coaching staffs: NC State and UNC.  Here’s what Lawrence had to say about the Wolfpack.

”I talk to (defensive line) coach (Ryan) Nielsen at NC State,” said Lawrence. “I like his personality and that he’s always honest. He has a lot of energy too.” (Scout)

He also told Clark that distance wasn’t a factor for him in making his decision.  Regardless of that fact, you can bank on seeing NC State on his list when he cuts it next month.
