Lawrence got off the blocks quickly in his freshman year and was a destructive presence on the Tigers' defensive line. He racked up 55 tackles and 5 sacks in the regular season, breaking the Clemson record for most sacks by a freshman. He was named the 2016 ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year for his performances.
Lawrence finished his college football career with 131 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and 10 sacks. He was part of the Clemson team which defeated Alabama in the 2017 national football playoff championship. He could have won a 2nd national championship with the Tigers but was banned from the 2019 college football playoff after he tested positive for ostarine.
A 6'4" 342 lbs athlete with the size, length, power and athleticism to play at multiple positions in a 3-4 and 4-3 scheme, Lawrence has all the tools to prosper at the pro-level. He posses tremendous power which he uses to bull-rush through opponents and get to the QB. Lawrence may not fell the QB regularly but he can make life miserable for them in the pocket.
He does need some polishing technically though as he relies more on his frame than his technique to get through offensive linemen. Overall Lawrence's rare combination of size and speed would be too good to leave on the board for many franchises in the first round.
