“We had something to do (this weekend), so I’m going to go up there July 25,” Lattimore said. “I’ll probably be up there for a couple days.”

Lattimore said he plans to visit Penn State with both of his parents as well as his teammate, wide receiver/athlete Nick Jones. The Nittany Lions are also interested in Jones, though they have not offered him a scholarship.

Lattimore has narrowed his list of approximately 30 scholarship offers to Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, Maryland, North Carolina, Penn State, and South Carolina.

Lattimore plans to trim that list to five schools by the end of the summer, but wants to visit Penn State before doing so.

“I talk to Penn State every two or three days,” Lattimore said. “I talk to Coach (Bill) Kenney and Coach (Larry) Johnson. I talk to all of them.”

After narrowing his list down to five schools, Lattimore says he plans to begin scheduling official visits.

“I’ll probably take all five official visits,” he said. “I don’t have any favorites right now.”

The 6-foot and 215-pound Lattimore rushed for 2,320 yards during his junior season. He averaged 7.6 yards per carry and had 30 touchdowns.
