Deontae Lawson

Can Kevin Steele return the defense to joyless murderball?

Alabama opened conference play with a 55-3 drubbing of the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Five Crimson Tide players were named players of the week by the Alabama coaching staff after the Tide's narrow triumph in Austin.

Former FSU and Alabama assistant coach Ronnie Cottrell compared one of his high school players to an NFL Hall of famer.

The inside linebacker put on a show against UMS-Wright by accumulated 24 tackles on defense. Additionally Lawson spent time on the offensive end, rushing for 75 yards on seven carries. The future Alabama player accumulated 51 of his yards on a fake punt while his team was backed up against their own endzone. For the cherry-on-top, Lawson scored the final touchdown and even the game-winning 2-point conversion to put away the Bulldogs 25-24 in OT.
