  Draft Scout by Conference









  After spending his final high school season in 2020 as one of the state's most coveted prospects, Deontae Lawson did not receive nearly as much attention in 2021. The four-star linebacker from Mobile Christian started Alabama's spring game last year because of COVID-19 issues at his position, but then spent the season mostly behind the scenes. He saw action in four games, three of which were non-conference blowouts over Mercer, Southern Miss and New Mexico State. Now a redshirt freshman, Lawson's opportunity for playing time with the Tide could be near.

Alabama has an opening at "Will" linebacker after three-year starter Christian Harris was drafted to the NFL this offseason. Fifth-year senior Jaylen Moody was the frontrunner in the spring for that job, but defensive coordinator Pete Golding on Sunday brought up Lawson as another candidate for the spot. "You've got Moody that's got experience in the system," Golding noted. "You've got Deontae Lawson who obviously had a good spring, had a good summer, is having a good fall camp. I think there's a push right there right now." Lawson is listed at 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds by Alabama and if he earns a starting job would pair at inside linebacker with senior Henry To'o To'o, who decided against entering the draft to return this season. - Birmingham News
