Clemson quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei showed flashes of his immense potential in two starts against Boston College and Notre Dame as a true freshman last season, when he completed 69 percent of his passes for a combined 781 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for two scores as well while filling in for Trevor Lawrence when he was sidelined due to COVID-19.
With Lawrence headed to the NFL, Clemson is Uiagalelei’s team now, and the rising sophomore will have the chance to show what he can do every time the Tigers take the field in 2021.
“I think everybody got to see a little glimpse of what he was capable of last year against BC and Notre Dame,” Clemson tight end Braden Galloway said.
