The James Madison running back transfer said the offense had a meeting to build bonds after not clicking in the first scrimmage.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Getting a roster with 31 transfers, 22 true freshmen and almost an entirely new coaching staff to gel takes time for any program.“I feel like yesterday we had a better scrimmage than scrimmage one. Scrimmage one, we weren’t really clicking,” said Ty Son Lawton, a running back transfer from James Madison, on Wednesday.
“As the ones, we got out – were slow in that first scrimmage,” Lawton said. “So Kurt , he was kind of mad about it. Honestly, we were all mad about it.” In his short time playing with Rourke, Lawton has quickly become accustomed to his personality on and off the field. Lawton didn’t expect to be in this position earlier in his career. He redshirted the 2018 season, received a bonus year of eligibility due to COVID-19 and a medical redshirt, granting him a rare seventh year of eligibility. Now he’s part of the effort of turning the Indiana football program around after a 9-27 stretch the last three seasons.
“Not to pat myself on the back, but at Stony Brook, I was kind of the guy there,” Lawton said. “And to get to JMU, I kind of got humbled. I never really took practice as serious until I got under Cig’s team, and that made me be a better player.” They’re part of a deep running back room that also features Wake Forest transfer Justice Ellison, a 1,901-yard career rusher, and North Carolina transfer Elijah Green, who totaled 665 all-purpose yards and nine touchdowns in 2022.
