"I think we all just have to be bought in. I think that started right when the bowl game ended, and we just all had to come together."

An ACL injury against Oklahoma changed Lawson's path, one that "wasn't a light injury whatsoever," the linebacker said. But while expressing his admiration for the Alabama injury staff, Lawson said he thinks he'll be ready for 2025.
