veteran Georgia Southern linebacker with program familiarity and scout-team grit
Connor Lawson has the look of a steady, program-built linebacker for Georgia Southern: a 6-foot-1, 210-pound inside linebacker from Albany, Georgia, who has been in the Eagles’ system for years and earned Sun Belt Conference Commissioner's List recognition in multiple seasons. In the 2026 roster materials, he’s listed as part of the team’s football support staff, which suggests his value now may be more in football IQ, leadership, and behind-the-scenes impact than on-field production. If you want a tone-setter who knows the culture and can help younger defenders, he fits the bill.
