As one of the true freshmen that might have a chance to play this year, defensive end Cedrick Lattimore is anxious to begin his college career. The 6-foot-4, 267-pound Detroit native will be moving to Iowa City right away this summer to work out with the team and star preparing. We caught up with Lattimore, who will wear #95 for the Hawkeyes, to talk about his upcoming freshman year and much more.

Q: When do you make the move to Iowa City this summer?

LATTIMORE: I make the move to Iowa City June 12 and start working out June 13.

Q: What are your goals for your freshman year? Are you hoping to play or expecting to redshirt?

LATTIMORE: My plan for freshman year is to come in and work hard and if I'm ready to play at the time, I want to play.

Q: What will it mean to you to walk out of the tunnel at Kinnick Stadium for the first time?

LATTIMORE: It’s a dream come true to walk out and play in that black and gold.

Q: When you look back at everything, what was it about Iowa that made it the right place for you?

LATTIMORE: Iowa was just the fit for me and my family. Also, I fit into the program and the coaching staff was nothing but the best during my recruitment.

As a senior, Lattimore had 51 tackles, 22 TFL, and 17 sacks on defense and 22 catches for 375 yards and nine touchdowns on offense for East English Village this past year.

See highlights from his senior season in the video below.

I get the excitement about AJ in 2017 but don't forget the freshmen this year. Lattimore could become a beast quickly with Doyle. One of my favorite recruits this year

From looking at the roster, he is a little short for an Iowa TE and a little heavy. I hope he moves inside.

NOT recruited for TE - will be on the D-Line!

Luckily he's a DE.

At 6-4 267# he already has the size need at DE. I like his attitude... " My plan for freshman year is to come in and work hard and if I'm ready to play at the time, I want to play."

Adrian Clayborn played at Iowa and his measurable were: 6' 3" and 285 lbs

What is this you're saying about Lattimore again? In 2017, Iowa will need Lattimore more on the interior - but he could still get his feet wet at DE this season (assuming the shoe fits).

Will keep the theme going from #96

96 bottles of beer on the wall...96 bottles of beer..take one down (keep it for yourself) 95 bottles of beer on the wall.

I'm excited about this young man.
