The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with defensive tackle Trevor Laws on a four-year contract.
With the addition of Laws, 27 rookies and selected veterans have reported on time to training camp, including all 10 draft picks. The remaining veterans are scheduled to report to Lehigh on Thursday night.
A second round draft choice of the Eagles in 2008, Laws (6-1, 304) was a third-team All-America selection in 2007 after leading Notre Dame with a career-high 112 tackles and 4.0 sacks, while adding three blocked kicks on special teams. His 112 tackles were the most by a defensive lineman in the major college ranks, and one shy of Notre Dame’s single-season record among defensive linemen (Steve Niehaus, 113 in 1975). He appeared in 49 games (25 starts) during his collegiate career, recording 224 tackles, 22.5 tackles for a loss, 10 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 4 fumble recoveries, 1 interception, and six blocked kicks.
A native of Apple Valley, MN, Laws earned USA Today and ESPN first-team All-America honors as a defensive lineman at Apple Valley HS, after recording 87 tackles (17 for a loss) and 11 sacks as a senior. Laws also finished 49-0 as a state champion super-heavyweight wrestler as a junior and was ranked the #1 high school wrestler in the nation.
