With Trevor Lawrence officially off to the NFL, D.J. Uiagalelei gets the keys to the Clemson offense. The good news for the Tigers is the freshman already took it for a test ride and the drive was pretty smooth with him behind the wheel.
Uiagalelei played in 10 of Clemson’s 12 games this past season, including two starts after Trevor Lawrence tested positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 29, two days prior to the Boston College game.
In Lawrence’s place, Uiagalelei played nearly flawless, completing 59-of-85 passes (69.4 percent) for 781 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.
