Longtime Vanderbilt safety commit Carson Lawrence was back at Vanderbilt on Thursday for their spring practice and he was impressed with what he saw from the Commodores.
"Liked how it was more competitive and more talented guys," Lawrence noted. "Coach (Melvin) Rice is definitely a great teacher and he wants to see you have success."
The three-star was last at Vandy back in late January for a Jr. Day visit and he's built a great rapport with new safeties coach Micah Rice since he's joined Vanderbilt's staff.
"He’s already come to watch me workout at McCallie and we’ve been on the phone multiple times, so we are more familiar than you’d think," Lawrence told VandySports.com back in February. "But, I like Coach Rice a lot as a person, and as a coach he has a history of developing guys everywhere that he’s been."
Lawrence remains committed to Vanderbilt despite a wave of new offers and taking other visits in the process. Currently, the McCallie (Tenn.) product has official visits set with Vanderbilt (May 31st), West Virginia (June 7th), Miami (June 14th), and Virginia Tech (June 21st).
Vanderbilt will definitely have a fight on their hands to keep Lawrence in their 2025 recruiting class.
