It’s not every day a freshman quarterback leads his team to a national championship. In fact, the last time it happened was in 1985.
But it is not every day a team has a quarterback like Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence. The Cartersville, Georgia native became the first freshman quarterback since Oklahoma’s Jamelle Holieway to lead his team to national championship.
At times last year, Lawrence made it look easy. He went 11-0 as a starter. He led the ACC in touchdown passes with 30. He led the conference in passing efficiency and interception avoidance.
On the biggest of stages, he made it look even easier.
