Nyechay Lawless is a good wide receiver who is much more than just a slot receiver, like I thought at 1st when I was breaking down his film. He is certainly a great slot receiver, though. He does a good job after the catch by making defenders miss in space and gaining extra yards after the catch. An example of this type of play is when he caught wide receiver screen passes; he got behind his offensive line and made defenders miss. He is elusive and slippery to bring down in the open field, but he is also a good route runner with excellent hands. Lawless is the complete package at wide receiver.

D2 Grade/Ceiling

5’9, 160 pounds. 3.5 GPA. Would love to know more about multi-sport capabilities, as well as current grades.

On our watch list last season, his six-minute tape did enough to elevate him off said watch list. Notre Dame Green Pond loves to dish the rock through the air, Bodnar and company love to spread the love, so Lawless II gets his fair share of targets even as a sophomore in this offense. Primarily a LOS hitch/screen option, a fantastic dump option for the QB. Lawless II can turn a check down at the LOS into first downs thanks to solid COD capability. Can stay balanced post-cut, has a good inside release move that he shows off on tape, he creates separation here consistently. Soft hands too. Good debut rank, we’ll see if he can outplace this rank/grade in the future.
