With the Wolverines, LaMarre was a two-time All-Big Ten outfielder. In 2009, he earned second team honors after leading the team with a .344 batting average, 62 RBI, 55 runs scored, 33 walks and a .599 slugging percentage. His 12 home runs were second on the team.

He led the team in batting average, slugging percentage (.649) and on-base percentage (.453). The success earned him ABCA/Rawlings All-Mideast Region second team and All-Big Ten first team. LaMarre hit five home runs and drove in 40 during his junior season.
Lynchburg also receives Doug Salinas from Dayton. Salinas was 3-3 with a 2.38 ERA and seven saves in 23 games for the Dragons.
