A.J. Lawson commits to Iowa
Illinois defensive back A.J. Lawson is headed to the University of Iowa. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Decatur native gave his verbal commitment to the Hawkeyes during his official visit to Iowa City this weekend.
"I just loved the family feeling at Iowa," Lawson told HawkeyeReport.com. "All the coaches were straight up with me and we really made a bond."
A three-star prospect, Lawson chose Iowa over scholarship offers from Minnesota, Wyoming, Central Michigan, Ball State, Bowling Green, Kent State, Northern Illinois, Toledo, and Western Michigan.
"It was great a great opportunity for me and my family knowing all the hard work I've put in is finally starting to pay off," said Lawson.
The commitment is No. 15 for the Iowa coaching staff in the Class of 2020.
