LSU, Georgia, Alabama set to host 2018 No. 1 prospect Trevor Lawrence
The Latest: Prior to the start of his junior season, Trevor Lawrence, the nation's No. 1 overall player in the Class of 2018 took to Twitter to reveal his Final Two of Georgia and Clemson. Most expected that within a few weeks, Lawrence would also reveal his college decision. However, nearly three months later, Lawrence is taking a more measured approach to the recruiting process and appears to be listening to other schools. He was on campus for Clemson's victory over Louisville last month and is now set to visit three more SEC programs in the coming weeks. Here's a breakdown of Lawrence's upcoming visits and the potential impact.
Nov. 5 -- Alabama at LSU
Potential Impact: The Tigers already have a quarterback committed in the Class of 2018 and with the offensive coaching staff still in flux, this visit could be more for fun than for anything else. However, if LSU can pull the upset it will give interim head coach Ed Orgeron a good chance to take over the head coaching job full-time and the master recruiter can never be counted out.
Nov. 12 -- Auburn at Georgia
Potential Impact: This will be Georgia's chance to impress Lawrence and it could stand as one of the biggest visits in his entire recruitment. The Bulldogs have put all their chips in when it comes to Lawrence, having offered just one other quarterback in the 2018 class. With the way things are trending it looks as Georgia will be the underdog and pulling off an upset victory could go a long way toward showing Lawrence that Kirby Smart has the program headed in the right direction.
Nov. 26 -- Auburn at Alabama
Potential Impact: Despite Lawrence's announcement of a Final Two, Alabama didn't stop its pursuit and now that effort appears to be paying off in the form of a visit. He currently sits atop the Tide's board at the position and will be a priority of the Tide staff during his trip. With the way the schedule breaks, this will be Lawrence's second time watching the Tide play in a month so the school will have ample opportunity to impress him both on and off the field.
