Keli Lawson is a rangy, playmaking linebacker whose athletic testing jumps off the page
Lawson was a productive 2025 UCF defender, playing all 12 games with three starts and finishing with 34 tackles, two sacks, a blocked field goal, and a fumble-return touchdown—clear signs he can impact a game in multiple ways. His best differentiators are length, burst, and closing speed: he posted elite Pro Day numbers, including an 11'3" broad jump and a 41-inch vertical, and his on-field profile matches that explosiveness. For a team, he looks like a high-ceiling, event-creating LB who can flash as a tackler, blitzer, and special-teams weapon.[1][7][15]
