Wyoming’s speed-based back with spring buzz and long-term upside
In 2026, Jaden Lawrence is still more projection than production for Wyoming, but the buzz is real: he was described by head coach Jay Sawvel as having “really good ball skills” and “a high level of top-end speed,” and a spring review said the freshman “made his presence felt” in the spring game[4][11]. A former three-star recruit from Legend High School, he arrived with a strong prep resume, including 2,801 rushing yards, 37 rushing touchdowns, and more than 1,000 receiving yards[1][4]. If your team wants a quick-twitch, versatile back with upside, he’s intriguing; if you need a proven college workload, he’s not there yet[1][11].
