Chris Lawson Jr. is a slippery slot target with return-game upside for App State
In the 2025 season, Chris Lawson Jr. has been a low-volume but efficient receiver for Appalachian State, finishing with 3 catches for 42 yards in limited action, and he also missed time with an undisclosed injury before returning to availability.[11][13][8] At 6-foot-0 and around 185 pounds, he profiles as a quick slot option who can separate underneath and help on special packages, rather than a pure volume alpha. His appeal is the combination of movement skills, versatility, and a modest recruit-to-projection profile that suggests room to grow; the question is whether he can turn flashes into a steadier weekly role.[1][9][7]
