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.”

Oklahoma State hot on the trail of Cedar Shoals LB Lattimore | College recruiting | ajc.com

Cedar Shoals’ DeDe Lattimore saw his scholarship count climb to 15 last week after claiming an offer from Marshall.

The intimidating 6-foot-1, 225-pound linebacker already had offers from programs such as Central Florida, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Oklahoma State, South Florida and UAB.

“Oklahoma State is recruiting me the hardest,” Lattimore said. “I want to go there this fall. I also want to visit Michigan, Louisville and Central Florida.”

Lattimore, who lives in Athens, said he’s been a fan of the Wolverines for several years.

“My third grade teacher loved Michigan and he got me to loving them too,” he said.

Lattimore is scheduled to retake the SAT in September. He needs to improve on the 840 he scored in the spring.

“I’ve hired my own tutor to help me prepare,” he said.
