SAN JOSE, Calif. — The first time Miller Forristall saw Trevor Lawrence throw the football, he was amazed.
“I just looked around and I was like ‘oh my gosh! He has a cannon,’” the Alabama tight end said Saturday from the SAP Center during media days for Monday’s national championship game between Clemson and Alabama.
That was the start of Forristall’s junior year at Cartersville, Ga., and Lawrence’s freshman year. Forristall was the starting quarterback at the time, but when he saw Lawrence slinging the football around the field, he knew he was watching something special.
“When he walked on the field, you could tell,” Forristall said.
