Hillsborough senior-to-be Lindsey Lamar picked up his eighth college scholarship offer Wednesday when Wake Forest joined the list of schools trying to lure the multi-talented athlete.

The Demon Deacons are seeking Lamar as a football player, as are Boston College, the University of South Florida, Richmond University and Delaware. Despite coming off a serious knee injury, Lamar led Hillsborough with 980 yards last season.

Meanwhile, Florida State, Georgia and UCLA are hoping to lure Lamar as a track athlete. Lamar finished fourth in the Class 3A state finals of the 100-meter dash and his wind-aided time of 10.35 from his victory in the regional finals remains one of the fastest marks in the nation this season.
