Here is his scouting report via ESPN:
Size-Strength-Speed
Really well proportioned, rangy athlete with good height and layered bulk. Has some functional strength to his build. He is more explosive than he is top end fast. Can be physical when he needs to be and uses his strength and leaping ability to make plays.
Separation Skills
Just average. Does not have a sudden surge off the line, but does have a strong stride. Muscles through routes when he has to. Can push off subtly and create some space, but against top level competition may not just run by people like he does here.
Ball Skills
Excellent. He has big, strong hands. Shows consistent focus and will make some spectacular grabs when covered. Does a nice job of timing jumps and extending above his head or behind him to make plays on the ball. Quickly transitions after he tucks and does not show lapses in concentration.
Big Play Ability
Adequate. He makes a lot of plays on the ball and he has productive experience in the return game. However, he really stands out against this level of competition and may not have as many explosive capabilities against upper tier competition.
Bottom Line
Lawrence is a good, well-rounded football player that could be a candidate as a safety at the next level as well. He stands out here. He makes a lot of plays when called upon and is a mismatch. It will be interesting to see if he creates the same mismatches at the FBS level. He is one of those prospects that does many things well, but may not be special in any one area. His ball skills and feel for the game are his best assets.
