Lawrence Bass (born August 31, 1999) is an American football linebacker who is currently unsigned by a professional team. He played college football for University of Tennessee (UTK) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Lawrence was born in Kingsport, TN to loving parents Letitia and Clarence. He is an only child. Growing up in Kingsport allowed him to go to Dobyns-Bennett High School, a program with a solid football program. As a 3 time All-State linebacker, he led DBHS to their first State title in over 60 years. He lead his conference in tackles for his final 3 years, and received high praise from his coaches for his attitude on and off the field. Bass's efforts garnered him offers from many Division 1 schools, but he ultimately chose his father's alma mater, the University of Tennessee, where he promised to bring the program back to national prominence.

College career

Bass was a backup at the start of his freshman year at UT, but a few injuries saw him make the starting linupe by mid-year. He racked up 75 solo tackles and 3 interceptions in his Feshmen campaign, and cemented his role as a starter for the rest of his career. Coaches noted his nose for the ball and ability to wrap-up in the open field. In his Sophomore season, he blossomed into his starting position, leading Tennessee to a Rose Bowl appearance and nationally ranked #3 defense. Bass lead the SEC in Tackles with 125 and Forced Fumbles with 9. Lawrence was elected a team captain in his Junior year and lead Tennessee to it's best year in over a two decades, making good on his promise. His 147 Tackles lead the nation, and he added 5 INTs and 7 Forced Fumbles. These efforts took UT to it's first College Football Playoff appearance, and to its first championship appearance since 1998. They would square off against a high-powered Oklahoma offense, but Bass and the UT defense were stifling. Lawrence recorded 4 TFLs, 1 INT and 11 Total Tackles in a 42-17 thrashing, in which it seemed they knew the play calls before OU did. Lawrence declared himself eligible for the draft after his incredible season, and is currently working out in the off season with his old high school coaches.
