DJ Uiagalelei era begins at Clemson and Tigers are in good hands

Trevor Lawrence announced his intentions to enter the 2021 NFL Draft Wednesday morning, ending the career of yet another generational quarterback that graced the playing field of Memorial Stadium. With the departure of Lawrence, however, stands another waiting in the wings in DJ Uiagalelei.

Lawrence, a junior, is expected to be the NFL's No. 1 pick of the NFL draft. The Jacksonville Jaguars currently hold the top spot. He went 34-2 as a starter, losing only last season's national championship game against LSU and last week's Sugar Bowl semifinal against Ohio State.

He led Clemson to a national championship in 2018 as a freshman.
