Redshirt Freshman Guard with Upside, But Still a Blank Stat Sheet
Arness Lawson is a 6-foot-2 guard from Pickerington North who signed with Duquesne in 2025 and is listed as a redshirt freshman for 2026-27[1][13][14]. The big story: he reportedly earned a redshirt and has not yet built a meaningful college stat profile, so the appeal is projection more than production right now[6][12]. At this stage, he looks like a developmental backcourt piece—young, athletic enough to stick on a roster, and potentially valuable if Duquesne wants a guard who can grow into minutes rather than demand them immediately[1][8].
