Four-star running back Jae Lamar, a standout from Colquitt County High School in Moultrie, Georgia, recently wrapped up a highly anticipated visit to Clemson University, and the Tigers made a strong impression on the talented prospect. Known for his blend of size and speed, Lamar stands at 6-foot and weighs 205 pounds, making him one of the most sought-after running backs in the class of 2026. With offers from major programs like Georgia, Ohio State, Miami, Alabama, and Florida State, Lamar’s recruiting journey has already attracted significant attention.
During his visit to Clemson, Lamar had the chance to experience the Tigers’ renowned football culture firsthand. He was particularly impressed by how the program stands out in every aspect of its operations, calling it a unique experience compared to other schools he’s visited. This connection with the Clemson staff and the atmosphere around the program seemed to solidify his interest, as he quickly picked up an official offer from the Tigers during his trip.

Lamar has scheduled an official visit to Clemson on May 30, 2025, a key step in his decision-making process.

The Tigers’ ability to create a lasting connection with Lamar could prove pivotal as he moves closer to making his commitment.
Clemson’s approach to recruiting, focused on building strong relationships with top-tier talent, is paying off, as evidenced by Lamar’s positive visit. With the official visit coming up and strong competition from elite programs, the Tigers are hoping to make one final push in securing Lamar’s commitment.
