Additionally, Lawson had three total tackles and one tackle for loss on the defensive side of the ball.
Head Coach Corey Fountain stated, “Clayton was a hard worker in the off-season strength and conditioning program and currently during practice. His hard nosed play on offense and defense set the tone in the trenches. He has a ‘high motor’ and barely comes off the field during the game which is rare for a big man. It is fun watching his 2-way throwback style of football on Friday nights.”
