Description
Shawn Lauvao is a free agent offensive guard, most recently playing for the Washington Redskins. He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Lauvao played his collegiate football at Arizona State University. Lauvao started his last 33 games at Arizona State—17 at left guard, 12 at left tackle and four at right tackle. He earned Second Team All-Pac-10 honors during his junior and senior years. He graduated in 3 1/2 years with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and is close to earning his Masters.
Lauvao was one of the more versatile and dominating drive blockers, as the Sun Devils accounted for more than 65 percent of its rushing yardage over his left side the last two years of his ASU career. Lauvao was one of the few bright spots on a young and inexperienced offense allowing just three sacks during the team’s last 813 pass plays.
Since moving into the starting lineup midway through his sophomore seasons, Lauvao performed with great consistency, no matter what duties the coaches assigned him. He took over left guard duties for the last nine games of his sophomore campaign and remained there for the first eight games of his junior season before closing out that year with four starts at right tackle.
As a senior, he shifted to the demanding left tackle slot, helping the team improve its offensive output to an average of 334.42 yards per game. Eight of his nine touchdown-resulting blocks came while blocking in-line in 2009. The Cleveland Browns rewarded that trap blocking ability when they drafted him in the 3rd round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
Lauvao was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the third round (92nd overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft. Lauvao became a starter his second season, starting all 16 games the next two seasons.
On March 11th, 2014, Lauvao signed a four-year, $17 million contract with the Washington Redskins. He took over the starting left guard position in the Redskins’ offensive line after the previous starter, Kory Lichtensteiger, switched to center.
