Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence was named one of four finalists for the 2020 Heisman Trophy, the Downtown Athletic Club in New York announced Thursday.
Lawrence becomes just the second Clemson player to be named a finalist for college football’s most coveted award. Former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was a 2015 and 2016 finalist for the award, the first player from the ACC to earn back-to-back finalist recognition.
Watson finished third in the voting in 2015 and was the runner-up in 2016. No Clemson player has ever won the Heisman Trophy.
The winner of the 2020 Heisman Trophy will be announced on Jan.
