Trevor Lawrence does not want to take anything away from what players from Ohio State, LSU and Oklahoma accomplished this year. However, the Clemson quarterback admits the Tigers were a little annoyed just one player from their team was a finalist for a national award.
Only linebacker Isaiah Simmons, who won the Butkus Award as the nation’s best linebacker, was a finalist at the College Football Awards Show in Atlanta last week. Lawrence, along with two-time ACC Player of the Year and running back Travis Etienne and ACC Championship Game MVP and wide receiver Tee Higgins did not make it to Atlanta.
