Lawson Wade brings proven experience and tough-minded depth to Chattanooga’s offensive line
In the 2026 season, Lawson Wade is a 6-foot-1, 284-pound junior transfer from Centre who arrived at Chattanooga with two years of eligibility left after starting two seasons and appearing in 17 games, including back-to-back years of earning a tackle on defense as an extra-effort lineman[1][5]. He looks like a fit for a program that values dependable, versatile trench players: compact, experienced, and battle-tested, with enough juice to earn a roster spot and likely compete for meaningful OL snaps rather than just occupy space[1][3][10].
