Luckie grew into one of the leaders of Georgia’s offense in 2025.
“Yeah, he’s grown in confidence,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart told reporters back in August. “He’s been around good players. He’s seen guys lead that room. He was that way at Norcross, you know? He was a leader. He’s been a leader in his own home. Lawson is just a great kid. He’s not afraid to confront and demand guys. He’s not afraid to speak up. So I’m really proud of Lawson’s growth and who he’s becoming as a man.”
Luckie will get the chance to play alongside his younger brother, four-star defensive line signee Carter Luckie. The younger Luckie brother enrolled at Georgia earlier this week.
