LAWRENCE VICKERS, FB/TB
6-2, 230, Jr., 2L
Houston, Texas (Forest Brook)
AT COLORADO: This Season (Jr.)—Enters the fall a top the depth
chart at fullback, but he’s more of a “combo” back as he’ll also see
time at tailback. His versatility should provide concerns for
opposing defenses since he can lineup at either position. Phil Steele’s
College Football ranked him as the No. 14 fullback in the nation.
He had a big spring game, as he led all runners with 94 yards on 21
carries.
2003 (Soph.)—He played in 11 games on both offense and special
teams, including six starts. While he lined up at fullback most of the
time, he did see some spot action at tailback. He rushed for 100
yards and a touchdown on the year (28 attempts), and emerged as a
threat as a receiver, catching 15 passes for 123 yards and a score. He
had 10 plays of 10 yards or more (4 rushing, 6 receiving), and earned
15 first downs, nine on the ground. A 3-yard catch for a TD against
Missouri was his first career touchdown, rushing or receiving; he
then scored his first time as a ball carrier the following week on a
1-yard run at Iowa State, when he had his season single-game high of
27 yards. His reception high was four against Kansas, while he had
42 yards with two receptions against Texas Tech.
2002 (Fr.)—He saw action in 11 games, including the Alamo Bowl (no
starts), seeing time on both offense (at fullback) and on special
teams; he was a regular at the end of the year in CU’s Stack-I formation
(two fullbacks). He had seven rushes for 25 yards on the year,
and also caught one pass for seven yards. He touched the ball the
most against Baylor, when he had six rushes for 22 yards and
his reception. He had a tackle and a knockdown block on special
teams duty.
HIGH SCHOOL—As a senior, he garnered PrepStar All-America
honors, as the magazine ranked him as the No. 8 running back in the
Midlands. SuperPrep named him to its all-southwest team, while
Rivals.com ranked him as the No. 11 fullback in the nation. He
earned first-team all-state and first-team all-North Forest League
while also being named to the first-team all-Greater Houston area.
Earning offensive MVP of his district during 2001, he was named to
first-team all-district all four years of his prep career. He was also
named to the first-teams of the league and district his junior and
sophomore years. Playing running back on the varsity squad
throughout all four seasons, he finished his career with 4,610 yards
rushing and 70 touchdowns on 345 carries (a gaudy 13.4 yards per
carry). He also caught 72 passes for 1,950 yards and 24 touchdowns,
averaging 27.1 yards per catch. As a senior, he ran for 1,600 yards on
151 attempts, scoring 21 touchdowns with a long of 85 yards. He also
caught the second most passes of his career (17) and complied 500
receiving yards and four touchdowns. As a junior, he ran for 960
yards and scored 17 touchdowns on just 89 carries. During his
sophomore season he averaged 15.8 yards a carry, rushing 70 times
on the season for 1,110 yards and 22 touchdowns. As a freshman, the
only year he played defense, he started in every game and racked up
75 total tackles at free safety, causing 10 fumbles and intercepting
seven passes. His top games included a 21-0 win over West Berry his
senior year, when he rushed for 248 yards and three touchdowns on
25 carries. In a 50-47 loss to Jasper in the semifinals of the state playoffs
his senior year, he rushed 10 times for 192 yards and two
touchdowns and had seven catches for 200 yards and two more
scores. Under coach Ron Holmes, Forest Brook went 12-1 his senior
year and advanced to the semifinals of the state playoffs; FBHS was
11-1 his junior season (losing in the second round of the playoffs),
and was 7-4 his sophomore year. He also lettered three years in bas-

AT COLORADO: This Season (Sr.)—Enters the fall listed third at
tight end, but will again figure into the regular rotation at the position.
He had post-spring knee surgery and was undergoing

2003 (Jr.)—He played in all 12 games on offense, including six starts,
and also saw regular action on special teams as well. He caught 12
passes for 70 yards and three first downs, as he primarily was a secondary

make eight of the catches in the last four games. He continued to
improve as a blocker, and was one of 13 players in the spring to earn
CU’s prestigious Spring Victory Club honors.
2002 (Soph.)—He played in all 14 games, including the Alamo Bowl,
and made one start (at Kansas). He had two receptions for 29 yards,
as he was primarily utilized in two-tight end sets and on special
teams. He recorded his first career touchdown reception, coming on
a 1-yard grab from Robert Hodge against Kansas State, which
increased CU’s lead at the time to 35-14 in the third quarter. His other
catch came against Baylor.
2001 (Fr.-RS)—He saw action in one game (San Jose State), catching
one pass for 7 yards. He was the Scout Team Offense Award winner

2000 (Fr.)—Redshirted; practiced at tight end the entire year.
HIGH SCHOOL—Played primarily in two-tight end sets, sharing
time, but came on late according to his high school coach. He earned
first-team all-Eastern Kansas League honors as a senior, when he was
also a team captain. He caught 13 passes for 200 yards and four
touchdowns, and played sporadically on defense as an end (posting
11 tackles, two for losses, with five quarterback hurries, a forced
fumble, one recovery and a pass broken up). He caught five passes
for around 80 yards as a junior (no TDs), and had 20 tackles and a
quarterback sack on defense. His top games as a senior included
wins over Bishop Miege (four catches for 75 yards and a touchdown),
Shawnee Mission West (five grabs for 50 yards) and Olathe
East (when he caught his first career touchdown pass). Blue Valley
