Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been named as the media’s preseason favorite to win ACC Player of the Year honors, the league announced on Tuesday.
Lawrence is the third Clemson player, all quarterbacks, since 2013 to be picked as the preseason favorite. The other two were Tajh Boyd (2013) and Deshaun Watson (2015 & ’16).
Lawrence, who was the ACC’s Rookie of the Year in 2018, is also considered one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy by most preseason list, though no official list has come out from the Downtown Athletic Club in New York.
