Lawrence thrilled to have Etienne back

It’s obvious Trevor Lawrence was happy when his backfield teammate, Travis Etienne, announced he was returning to Clemson for his senior year.

The Tigers’ all-time leading rusher announced his decision to return to Clemson just prior to the deadline to declare for the NFL Draft as underclassmen.

At the time, Lawrence said he was still surprised to see Etienne return to Tigertown, even though he thought he could return for one more season.

“We talked a little bit. I can’t remember exactly when, but we had some private conversations before he decided what he was going to do,” Lawrence recalled.
