2026 RB Christian Lawrence Talks West Virginia offer – West Virginia Football

Thomasville (GA.) Thomas County Central 2026, which returns Christian Lawrence, is coming out of a very impressive junior season.

Lawrence, 5 feet-9, 185 kilograms, rushed to 1468 yards and 18 touchdowns and an average of over 9 yards per transfer while drawing in 326 yards and 3 more results.

This naturally led to attention from a number of schools, including a recent offer from West Virginia.

“I was grateful for my proposal from West Virginia. I know about the school because I know people who have played for Western Virginia, “he said.

One of them is the former wide receiver Traylon Ray, as they are both originally from Talahasi, Florida. He also managed to look at some of the facilities online and was impressed with what he managed to see.

“I love appearance very much,” he said.

But Lawrence managed to talk to Beck’s running coach, Chad Scott, and managed to get an idea of ​​how he could fit into the program and what the assistant likes in his overall game.

In fact, Scott compares favorably with the current running back Jahiem White.

“He liked my style of playing with me, which enters space and my speed,” he said. “He said I reminded him of his running back, which won the freshman All-American two years ago and we are of the same size.”

Western Virginia, along with other schools, are aimed at Lawrence when they go back, but they also believe that he can play a role in the slot where he can use his flexibility.

“I’m a big game that is waiting for it to happen. Just get me into space and all you hear is “The couple is free again,” Lawrence said.

The athlete in 2026 plans to put a big focus on the coaching staff, which will develop it best and encourage him to improve when it comes time to make a college choice over a comfortable environment.

“And the coaching staff that plays their freshmen,” he said.
