Oregon State’s explosive, two-way-impact cornerback with return-game value
Gerard Lawson stood out at Oregon State as more than a cover corner: he was a compact, physical defensive back who also brought real value as a kickoff returner, a rare differentiator that boosts his roster appeal. Listed at 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, he was undrafted but earned recognition for his special-teams impact, with Oregon State fans even naming him among the program’s top kickoff returners of the past 25 years. If you want a defensive back who can help in multiple phases and play with toughness and burst, Lawson fits that profile.
