Dexter Lawson Jr. brings ball-hawking experience and proven DB production
Dexter Lawson Jr. has the profile of a smart, instinctive defensive back with real playmaking chops: at Appalachian State, he finished his career with 74 tackles, eight interceptions, 13 pass breakups, 1.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss in 29 games over three seasons, including a team-high three interceptions in 2022. Sources also describe him as a high-IQ cover corner with pro experience, suggesting he can diagnose routes quickly and make impact plays rather than just rack up tackles. That makes him attractive for a team looking for a competitive, turnover-ready defensive back who can fit into multiple coverage looks.[2][3][7]
