Lawrence takes next step in his development as a leader

How exactly do you challenge a guy, who in his first year as a starting quarterback led his team to a national championship?

That’s the task the Clemson coaches have had this spring when it comes to making sure Trevor Lawrence continues to progress as a player, quarterback and leader.

“Again, you have four senior offensive linemen up there and that is where the bulk of our leadership is going to come from, but even though he is just a sophomore we are challenging him, and he seems to be responding,” co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott said.

Though he came out of high school as the top-ranked player in the country, Lawrence knew he had to earn that respect when he came to Clemson in January of 2018.
