That’s part of the gig when taking over as the starting quarterback for one of college football’s premier programs, even when you’re succeeding the No. 1 draft pick. While the list isn’t as long as Trevor Lawrence’s at this point of his career, Uiagalelei’s credentials have further fueled them.
The Tigers’ signal caller is a former five-star recruit himself and excelled in a pair of unexpected spot starts last season as a true freshman. He threw for more than 700 yards against Boston College and Notre Dame during the regular season and finished the year completing 67% of his passes.
