Levi Lawal brings NJIT a long, versatile frontcourt presence
Lawal is a 6-foot-7 sophomore forward for NJIT who profiles as a modern wing-forward with length and mobility, giving the Highlanders lineup flexibility on both ends. He’s still early in his college career, so the biggest draw is his developmental upside: a frame built for switchable defense, rebounding, and matchup problems when he can attack smaller defenders. Based on NJIT’s recent roster usage and team context, he looks like a player whose value goes beyond box-score numbers — the kind of fit that matters if your team wants athleticism, energy, and long-term growth.
