has been high on my radar since his freshman year. Lawless lines up at outside linebacker where he is very reliable both against the run and as a pass rusher. Against the run, he does a great job of using his strength to stack/shed blocks quick then use his speed to get to the ball carrier in a hurry to make the tackle in the open field. He finished his sophomore year with 100 tackles and 13 tackles for loss. When rushing the passer off the edge, Lawless explodes out of his stance and uses his speed to blow by opposing offensive tackles with ease on his way to the quarterback. Austyn finished last season with 10 sacks. Lawless doesn’t currently hold any offers but he will definitely be a player to keep an eye on over the next couple seasons.

has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to stand out as a sophomore. He is dominant against the run, finishing this past season with 100 tackles and 13 tackles for loss in 14 games. Austyn does a great job of stacking blocks while seeing where the ball is going then shedding them with ease once he finds the ball carrier. Once he gets to the ball carrier, he does a great job of running his feet through contact to secure the tackle. He has also shown the ability to use his speed to his advantage off the edge to put pressure on the quarterback, finishing his sophomore year with 10 sacks. Lawless also recovered three fumbles and returned one of them for a touchdown last season. Lawless doesn’t currently hold any offers but I expect a lot of eyes to be on him heading into his junior year.
