Elliott: Uiagalelei and Lawrence ‘cut from the same cloth’

Clemson talented true freshman quarterback DJ Uiagalelei is in a similar spot at this point early in his career to where Trevor Lawrence was at the same age, according to Tony Elliott.

The Tigers’ offensive coordinator met with reporters via Zoom on Tuesday evening and spoke about the characteristics that Uiagalelei and Lawrence share as quarterbacks.

“He’s cut from the same cloth,” Elliott said. “You’re seeing that they share that same poise, the demeanor, the command. Nothing is overwhelming. I think that they’re similar from a protection standpoint, they both have good foundations, they understand it.
