Early years

Lattimore was born in Miami, Florida and attended Hialeah - Miami Lakes High School. While attending the high school he lettered in both track and football where he played Defensive Back, Linebacker, Tackle, Tight End and Wide Receiver.[1] During his time there he earned 64-4A All-Dade honorable mention honors.[2]

College career

Dodge City Community College

Lattimore spend the first season of his college career at Dodge City Community College where he had 60 tackles, a team-high nine sacks and an interception. At the end of the year he received honorable mention all-conference recognition.[3]

Recruiting

After his single season in community college, Lattimore drew little attention with only Middle Tennessee State, North Carolina University, and Toledo actively recruiting him, but only receiving a scholarship offer from Middle Tennessee State.[4]

Middle Tennessee State

Lattimore ultimately decided to play for the Blue Raiders. He started out as a linebacker but was then moved to defensive end. During his first season with the team he played in all twelve games and made his first career start against Florida Atlantic University.[5] During his first ever college game he registered his first career tackle against Troy.[5] During a game against North Texas he registered a then career-best two sacks.[5] He ended the year with 22 tackles (5.5 for loss), 3.5 sacks, and broke up two passes

Lattimore continued to improve going into his junior year and started every game for the team. During a game against Maryland, Lattimore tied the school record for most sacks in a game with three and added five sacks and an additional force fumble.[5] He made his first career interception in a game against Louisiana and returned it for a 20-yard touchdown.[5] Lattimore finished the year ranking 16th in the nation in sacks and second in fumble recoveries. He finished the year with 47 tackles (9.5 for loss), along with 5.5 sacks. His performance was recognized and he was awarded second-team All-Sun Belt honors.[6]

In the final year of his college career, Lattimore played in all 13 games, but only started 12 of them. During another game against Louisiana, he broke the team-record for sacks in the game that he tied the previous year with four.[5] When the Blue Raiders played Troy later in the year, he had half a sack and blocked a kick, the first of his college career. He finished his last season with a personal-best 68 tackles (15 of them for a loss) during the season, 10 quarterback hurries, 11.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, two blocked kicks, and a fumble recovery. This performance lead to him being named the Sun-Belt player of the year[5][7] Additionally, he was named to the All-Sunbelt first team.
