DE Derrick Lott (6-5 270) of Kennesaw, GA attended USC's camp last Friday, his second camp of the summer in Columbia. "It was nice, I loved it, we had fun," Lott said. "I did one on ones the whole day. I talked to coach Lawing and coach Beamer. South Carolina is my leader. I've been to camps and stuff and they are showing me the most love." Lott also has offers from Louisville, Oklahoma State, Michigan State, Central Florida and Ole MIss. He's also getting interest from Florida State and Georgia. Lott camped at Georgia and has visited Louisville and Tennessee. He plans to take his official visits before deciding and three will be USC, Oklahoma State and Louisville.

North Cobb's Lott in no hurry to pick college | College recruiting | ajc.com

North Cobb may have had a disappointing ending last season with a loss in the first round of the playoffs, but that hasn’t stopped college recruiters from flocking to the school.

Twelve players signed college scholarships last season, and three more Division I prospects are on the roster this year. Michael Emerson and Rico Mack are battling for the quarterback position, but both are being recruited as receivers. But the big catch at North Cobb is defensive end Derrick Lott.

“He’s a freak,” said North Cobb coach Shane Queen. “He is the total package.”

The 6-foot-4, 265 pounder has sub-4.8 speed in the 40 and already has offers from South Carolina, Southern Cal, Oklahoma State, Louisville and Ole Miss. He will take official visits to South Carolina and Oklahoma State, but is undecided on his other visits. Don’t expect an early commitment.

“I am going to let the process play out,” Lott said. “I will plan out my other visits, but I just want to play well my senior season and get more colleges to offer me so I have plenty of choices.”
