Lawton is a name well-worth knowing when it comes to 2026 DBs. The cornerback had a tough matchup and was more than up to the challenge. His best play of the night came on 3rd and goal when the offense went at him with a fade route. Alex quickly closed on the receiver with his burst of speed, perfectly placed him hands to disrupt the catch and then drove through the receiver to force him out while he bobbled the ball. That bobble led to an incomplete rule, and a 4th down field goal attempt that was missed. A massive swing in momentum thanks to Alex’s coverage abilities. The senior is blessed with speed and agility to be a viable man to man CB. I love the way he plays at the catch point too. Alex is a steal who has been proving it week after week this season.
