KNOXVILLE – As Tennessee football brings in new talent during the Early Signing Period, Vols Wire is releasing player profiles on each individual that signs with UT.
Find out recruiting ratings, key skills, stats and which other programs had offers on the table for each Tennessee signee.
As the highest rated player currently in Tennessee’s 2020 recruiting class, four-star safety Keyshawn Lawrence made it official by signing with the Vols on Wednesday morning.
Lawrence is the No. 1 prospect in the state, according to the 247 Sports Composite, out of Ensworth High School in Nashville.
Although he is the No. 4 rated safety in the country, Lawrence was a do-it-all player for Ensworth during his high school career. With 52 total tackles and 5.5 TFLs during his senior season, Lawrence also scored eight total touchdowns and put together 788 all-purpose-yards as a kick and punt returner and wide receiver.
Lawrence’s biggest strength at safety was as a pure tackler, but his elusiveness and speed were on display every Friday in the return game
With offers from almost every major program in the country, securing the 6-foot-1, 197-pound Lawrence was a huge move from Tennessee’s staff to keep the most elite talent in-state.
