High School:  Lawson was on the football team at Crenshaw High School.  He was a three-star recruit as a two-way player at wide receiver and defensive back.  He also returned kicks and punts.  He originally committed to UCLA at the beginning of his senior year.

Personal:  Lawson plans to study business administration.  He was born on February 24, 1998.

Coach Kennan's Take:  One more we’re just really excited about.  Marquis was originally committed to a Pac-12 school and that didn’t work out, through some connections we found out and jumped on it. We think he is a difference maker at any level and he’ll come in and make an impact for us. He played WR, CB and returned punts for Crenshaw HS. He’s an electric player and plays with real passion. He has big time speed and catches the ball really naturally. He’s got elusiveness  and great acceleration.  As much as he plays with great passion and energy he’s just a truly humble young man.
