Darien Wilson, a transfer defensive lineman, squatted 600 pounds and benched 470 on the field, while David Crosley set linebacker marks for the clean (367), squat (525) and the three-lift total (1,262).
Other Lamar records that fell came in the bench for receivers (Zae Giles, 305), squat for tight ends (Dawud Shorts, 525) and three-lift total for offensive lineman (Garrett Bowery, 1,313).
