As a 4-star high school recruit, Lamar signed with Clemson on national signing day.[1] As a freshman, Lamar played in all 15 games spending some time on special teams. During his sophomore year, Lamar played in 10 games starting 8 as linebacker. Due to a shoulder injury he received against Florida State on November 11, Lamar missed the last 5 games of the 2017 season, including the 2017 ACC Championship and the 2018 Sugar Bowl.[2] Going into Spring training, it was reported that Lamar was healthy again.[3] Despite this, Lamar was listed as the backup middle linebacker going into 2018 spring training behind Kendall Joseph.[4] [5] It was later announced by defensive coordinator Brent Venables that this was a mistake, and he meant to indicate that Lamar and Joseph were co-starters.[6] During the 2018 season, Lamar was named a semi-finalist for the Butkus Award.[7] On January 9, 2019, Lamar announced that he would forgo his final year of eligibility and declare for the 2019 NFL draft.[8]
