It’s time to start preparing for the 2026 Syracuse Orange football season. We’re going through the roster to take a look at each Syracuse player as we get to know a lot of new faces for Year 3 of the Fran Brown Era.

Up next is…

Position: Defensive Back

Year: Redshirt Freshman

Weight: 180 lbs.

Hometown: Spring Valley, NY

High School: North Rockland

Appeared in two games last season while maintaining his redshirt.

This year Lawrence will be vying for a backup spot in the secondary. We talked about his speed (10.5 100m in high school) so could he find his way onto the field on special teams coverage squads? That seems like his best path to action this fall.

How’d he get here?:

Syracuse was his first offer and Lawrence committed

What’d recruiting sites say?:  

Consensus three-star and ranked a top 100 cornerback and top 5 player in New York.

Interesting nugget o’interest:

North Rockland is the alma mater of 4x NCAA Champion runner Katelyn Tuohy.
