Tampa Hillsborough High School QB and Cane commitment Dwayne Lawson has already taken a visit to Virginia Tech, and he's set to visit Miami and Mississippi in January - one will be the 16th and one the following weekend, but neither are set in stone yet.
USF is also in the mix for a visit.
"He's still committed, just wants to make sure he's walking into the best situation in June," Lawson's offensive coordinator, Max Warner, said.
Hillsborough High head coach Earl Garcia adds of Lawson that he is "solid to Miami."
"At Miami you have a true freshman (Brad Kaaya) that played lights out as a freshman, but Dwayne is going to be able to add a different dimension to the offense," Garcia said. "His strength is the read option, so he could have a package there right away to be able to help out in that aspect."
Garcia says Miami has a gem on its hands in his athletic QB.
"He's the best I've had, literally, in 40 years of high school coaching," Garcia said. "He's a state champions in the triple jump, which speaks to his athletic ability. He's had a great career, set school records in total offense and rushing for a quarterback, yards passing - he threw for over 5,800 yards and rushed for over 2,200. He's really been spectacular for us for three years. He has a great football IQ. Unless he gets hurt I see him playing on Sundays."
The comparison?
That would be to Cam Newton.
"I saw Can Newton play in college, and he's a young Cam Newton," Garcia said. "He really is. He's 217 pounds, a big kid, 6-5. He has a chance to grow into that position and he's the prototype quarterback that everyone's looking for in college at this time."
Lawson has offers from programs around the country including Auburn, Mississippi State, Mississippi, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Virginia.
