Terri Lawrence is a 5’10, 198 lb running back that is not getting the attention he deserves. The class of 2025 running back attends Willis High School in Conroe, Texas. Terri is a bruising running back who can pummel anyone in his path. I believe his running style is very comparable to the likes of Marshawn Lynch. They are both very angry runners that don’t let contact deter them. There are many instances in which Terri will shed 3 or 4 tacklers to make a play. This grown man strength can be seen in the weight room. He most recently bench pressed 225 lbs, an impressive feat for his age and stature. Terri has insane speed to add to this toughness. He most recently ran a 4.59s forty yard dash, and completed the 3 cone shuttle drill in only 4.44s. These are great measurables to have as a running back, and especially if you still have one more year to grow. On the field, his speed is very apparent. Once Terri hits the hole, good luck catching up to him. He consistently uses his quick feet and acceleration to burst out of the backfield, and into the open field ahead. This season, Terri rushed for 610 yards and 10 touchdowns. Expect to see those numbers increase next season as the teams leading rusher, quarterback Derek Lagway, is graduating this year. Terri’s game is very versatile as well. He may be a tough running back, but he also posses soft hands to catch the ball out of the backfield. This most recent season, Terri racked up 262 yards through the air. His best game came against Cleveland High School where Terri rushed for 182 yards and 3 touchdowns, as well as receiving the ball for 31 more yards. This versatility as a running back is key to finding success at the next level. Terri’s efforts won him 2nd team all district this season, and he is hungry for more. He is a very motivated kid both on and off the field. This is made apparent by Terri’s 4.18 out of 5.0 GPA. A young man who has been playing the game since he was 3, Terri will have a place in this game for a long time.
