Lawrence came over to Milton and was an immediate depth piece that could be moved across the line of scrimmage and provide some much-needed length for that group. At around 6’5″, Lawrence does a nice job of using his length to get off blocks. He leverages his hands with good placement and drives his legs through the blocker. Strong hands at the point of attack and quick ripping through blockers. He is an active defender who will track from the backside and shows good patience in staying in his rush lane, which was very beneficial in the state title game against Hughes. That was probably his best game of the season, sacking the top dual-threat QB in 5A multiple times in the biggest game. Lawrence has a lot of upside as a SDE at the next level. He weighs around 230 and from my tracking, has been steadily adding 20 or so lbs. each offseason. Improving hip flexibility, getting lower with his pad level, and more agile side-to-side are general areas to improve. Overall, Lawrence is a solid athlete showcasing a 29.5″ vertical jump, and has the size that D1 schools covet. He creates a lot of havoc by getting his hands up, deflecting passes, and consistently applying pressure. Miami of Ohio offered earlier this year, and we feel like more opportunities coming soon once HS spring practice kicks off.
