Braylon Lawson Braylon Lawson 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Sparkman | 2027 State AL is a dominant RB from Sparkman who broke out this past season and landed as our #16 RB and #134 prospect in the state.
“Lawson has a really well-rounded skill set. He has great size, impressive speed and elusiveness, and is a physical runner who makes life difficult for opposing defenses. You don’t want to have to meet Lawson up the middle. He runs hard and has great contact balance, making it tough for defenders to bring him down.
I’m really impressed with Lawson’s elusiveness. He’s shifty with the ball in his hands and can cut/change his direction in an instant, creating some high-light reel jukes on talented defenses across the state.“
Lawson put together some awesome tape from last season and has another huge year ahead. Check out some of his film below:

Braylon Lawson Braylon Lawson 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Sparkman | 2027 State AL is a well-rounded back with big play potential from any spot on the field. He is a twitchy, scrappy runner in congested areas, running hard at contact with jolts of twitch to make the most out of each run. Frequently breaks several tackles and works his way out of tight spots en route to big runs. He is a leggy player with long strides, helping him maintain his top gear and lift off from his level of competition. Lawson does a lot of things well and is a clear D1 RB talent despite little recruiting attention.

Few players in the state are producing like Lawson — 1,404 yards on 167 carries and 10 touchdowns at an 8.4 yards-per-carry clip. His elite burst and exceptional contact balance make him nearly impossible to corral with a single tackler. Lawson’s combination of leg drive, effort, and second-gear acceleration allows him to turn routine runs into momentum-shifting plays. Simply put, he’s the kind of back who can flip the scoreboard on any snap. This home run hitting along with his rugged style gives the Sparkman offense a focal point to lean on in the post season.
