Devon Lawrence might be one of the few high school football players who’s lived through the recruiting process more than once.

When the Wake Forest High senior running back was a sophomore, his older brother Dexter was a senior and the top defensive lineman in the state and No. 2 in the nation.

So when top college football programs made their way to their high school or made home visits to talk to Dexter, Devon was always right there, taking it all in. Devon even went with Dexter on his recruiting trips, tagging along to places like Ohio State, Alabama and Clemson, where Dexter committed in November 2015 and is now a sophomore star defensive tackle.
