KPGFootball on the quality of Mingua’s product
Not many people expect much of a contribution from a freshman, second level defender. Particularly one playing for one of the better programs in 2A.
It wasn’t too long ago the Briar Jumpers were toting the championship hardware from off of Kroger Field in Lexington, KY (2019). The Baddest Bunnies in the Briar Patch were NOT in Lexington this year, but they won 10-games and lost in the semifinals against an Owensboro Catholic team which had the football and a chance to win against Mayfield with about two and a half minutes remaining in that ballgame.
Translation: Somerset is back y’all. Players the ilk of Lawless comprise a major reason why.
Somerset is back; players like Lawless are why

Lawless recorded 101-tackles in ’23, registered 16-TFLs, and tallied six (6) QB-sacks. Lawless additionally forced a pair of fumbles while recovering one.
That is quite a stat-sheet for a freshman. Of course, Lawless was no ordinary freshman, not even anatomically.
Lawless is 6’0,” and weighs 200-pounds. His is the type frame which appears likely to lengthen and thicken considerably as he continues to age and mature.
Lawless was a highly decorated player coming from the middle school ranks. Lawless’s performance in his inaugural season did nothing to dampen enthusiasm for his prospects.
We see Lawless playing on Saturdays. We think it likely he will start getting some snaps offensively as soon as this coming Fall.
Lawless is listed as a TE on the roster, in addition to his primary deployment of LB. Lawless will continue on at LB as his production over the course of ’23 indicates his alignment, along the defensive second level, continues to appear quintessential. Look for Lawless to start getting offensive targets across the middle for the Briar Jumpers as ’24 unfolds.
Join us next week as we return to honor another weekly prize winner. Until then, pop some Mingua Beef Jerky in your mouth and savor the quality and flavor which sets it apart from the competition. Remember, our product is superior and one of a kind; just like Somerset’s, Austyn Lawless
