Fred Lawrence (Abilene, Texas/Cooper) understands that for many, the recruiting process is one that is slow and steady.
So when the 5-foot-10, 170-pound cornerback recently picked up his first offer from Division II McMurry University in Abilene, he was excited to have one under his belt. Lawrence is hoping that scholarship parlays into his first FCS or FBS offer -- and many more after that. He has interest from Colorado State, Louisiana Tech, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas State, Texas Tech and Tulsa.
“The process is going really well,” Lawrence said. “I’m talking to a couple of big-time D-1 schools. They are telling me to keep working hard and playing fast and to continue to get better and stay coachable.”
