He was also one of the six finalists for the Rimmington Trophy, an award given out to the best center in all of college football.
Larsen finished his Utah State career starting 52 consecutive games, a school record, and ranks third in the nation among active players.
Lawson, a 5-10, 186-pounder was named a third-team All-American by College Sports Madness and received first-team all-Mountain West honors following his senior season.
