Rashard Lawrence | Louisiana State

Height: 6-2          Weight: 308

Lawrence was a four-year contributor on one of the best teams in the SEC, and he offers more pass-rush ability than a typical interior lineman.

He started all 13 games as a junior, but missed time as a sophomore and senior due to ankle injuries. During the Tigers’ national championship game, he posted 28 tackles, six for loss, 2.5 sacks, and three pass breakups.

Lawrence capped off his LSU career with 120 tackles, 20.5 for loss, nine sacks, seven pass breakups, and a forced fumble for a recovery.

He is a tough, physical, strong, powerful, and instinctive multiple-position, run-stopping lineman.
