Veteran WVU DB Lawrence Audena brings instinct, toughness, and a nose for game-changing plays
In the 2003 season, Lawrence Audena emerged as a reliable West Virginia defensive back, finishing with 59 tackles and showing playmaking upside with an interception against Pitt that helped swing a rivalry win. His profile suggests a smart, physical “bandit” safety type who fits best when asked to cover ground, trigger quickly, and attack downhill—more than just rack up box-score stats. A former high-school standout and persistent overachiever, he was praised for improved confidence and athleticism, plus the kind of steady grit coaches love when they need a dependable back-end presence.
