Owen Lawson, JUCO punter, announces commitment to SEC West program

Owen Lawson, who last played in the JUCO ranks for Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College, has announced a commitment to play in the SEC.

Lawson, 6-1, 180, visited Arkansas on Saturday and announced his commitment soon after. At Arkansas, Lawson will compete with Max Fletcher for the job. Fletcher and Reid Bauer both saw extensive action this season, but Bauer has since entered the transfer portal.

Lawson at Coffeyville punted 67 times and averaged 40.5 yards per punt. He put 24 punts inside the 20-yard line, and 8 resulted in a fair catch, while 8 were touchbacks. He missed his only field goal attempt and made 3 extra-point attempts.

Lawson played high school football at Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst.
