Furman's Tackling DE from 2021 Glory Days
Landon Lawrence, a defensive end for the Furman Paladins, burst onto the scene in 2020 with 28 tackles including 2.5 TFLs across seven starts, and in 2021 added 26 tackles with highs of six vs. Samford (1.5 TFLs) and four vs. ETSU, fueling Furman's 8-5 record and FCS playoff run. His high-motor intensity and consistent run-stopping presence make him a reliable edge presence, though no recent stats post-2021 suggest he's no longer active—ideal for teams seeking proven FCS grit without NFL hype.
