About

My Story

My name is Josiah Lawson, and I’m a Christian student-athlete at Morehouse College majoring in Computer Science and playing basketball. My faith in God is the foundation of how I approach the game, academics, and life.

Matthew 5:16
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised in the Stone Mountain area. I began playing basketball at age three with my older brother, coached by my dad. From recreation leagues to AAU basketball, I developed my skills and a deep love for the game. As I got older, I competed on the Adidas 3SSB circuit, gaining experience at a high level.

I played high school basketball at Tucker High School, where I became one of the top scorers in DeKalb County history and established myself as one of the premier players in Georgia. That journey reinforced the value of consistency and faith, principles that continue to shape how I represent Morehouse.

Prioritizing my health, I’ve been a lifelong vegetarian and plan to transition to a vegan lifestyle after college

I give all credit for my success to God and to my family, who have supported and pushed me every step of the way. My goal is to use my platform as a student-athlete to inspire others, represent my faith, and make a lasting impact wherever I’m placed.
