Attributes: 6-foot-2, 253 pounds, 4.7 40
Top Schools: Committed to Auburn

NFL comparison: Cameron Wake, Miami Dolphins

Tale of the Tape: Lawson is listed one inch shorter and five pounds lighter than Wake, but the sawed-off defensive end has a relentless motor and quick hands and feet. The comparison four years ago likely would have been to Dwight Freeney because all three had similar attributes and size with the speed to blow off the ball and get to the quarterback.

When we last saw him: At the Under Armour All-America Game in Orlando, Fla., Lawson didn't record a tackle and was held in check after an excellent week in practice. The Auburn commit was credited with a quarterback hurry but was a nonfactor in the contest. The expectations were much higher for him, but it didn't hurt his final standing because his performance all year outweighed one game.

Analyst's take: "Lawson is a little bigger than Freeney and a little smaller than Wake, but I think his game is a model of both as he is a pure pass rusher. It is guys like Freeney, though, who paved the way for undersized guys with high motors to get this kind of shot and show that, if all of the other skills are there, height can be a marginalized measurement. His array of moves and his desire to be a great football player more than compensate for the lone negative in his game." -- Woody Wommack, Rivals.com Southeast analyst.

It does make me wonder how much his dad really know though cause he's said the whole time Carl would announce before NSD
 
Lawson 9:10, Vonn 10:05 according to the schedule they posted on ESPN

Would be incredible for that to go down!
 
Patrick Brown reporting Lawson at 9:05 followed by Bell at 10:05. Butch could be cooking up some mad hot sauce!!
 
Just going off percentages, when a player has a big announcement ceremony after already being committed to a team, they rarely pick the team they had been committed to.
