Mike Kelly-Lawson brings steady, senior depth to Charlotte’s defensive front
In the 2024 season, Mike Kelly-Lawson was a durable, rotation-ready Charlotte defensive lineman who played in 12 games and produced 22 tackles, 2 pass breakups, 1 interception, and 1 tackle for loss; at 6-3, 270, he offers size, experience, and reliable gap discipline more than flashy splash plays. His value is as a seasoned, low-mistake interior presence who can hold the line, finish plays, and give a defense a veteran body that has been in the program for years.
