speed-first edge defender with proven production at UTEP
Lawrence Montegut profiles as a disruptive, high-motor linebacker whose best trait is speed off the edge; in his final UTEP season, he described his game as getting off the ball quickly, getting around blocks, and reaching the quarterback, and that fit showed up in his career production, including 32 solo tackles, 2.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in ESPN’s career stats. He also brought veteran versatility after moving from defensive line to linebacker, and UTEP’s bio notes he played in all 12 games in 2017, making him a steady, assignment-sound fit for a defense that values urgency and edge pressure.
