Surprisingly, Dexter Lawrence’s 6-foot-5, 340-pound frame is not what you first notice about Clemson’s star defensive tackle when he comes into a room.
Though you might think Lawrence would be an intimidating person considering he is perhaps the biggest and most fit man in college football, that’s not the case. Lawrence’s big smile and gentle presence outshines his physical characteristics.
“He is a big ol’ teddy bear,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said. “He is just a sweet kid. He has a great spirit to him.”
Lawrence’s teammates say it’s his gentle spirit that makes him so easy to get along with and so fun to play with.
