Virginia Tech’s glass-cleaning, high-efficiency forward just finished a pro-ready senior run
In the 2025-26 season, Tobi Lawal averaged 12.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game while shooting 54% from the field, ranking among the ACC’s better rebounders and giving Virginia Tech a reliable two-way frontcourt presence[1][8]. What makes him pop isn’t just the numbers: he plays with serious bounce, impacts the game on the glass and as a rim helper, and has the motor and physicality that translate well to winning basketball[1][3]. He also managed a return from an ankle injury that cost him nine games in January, yet still finished strong enough to get drafted by Dallas in 2026[11][4].
