Fresh off signing a name, image and likeness deal with Bojangles, Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei joined the ACC Network during its telecast of the ACC Football Kickoff on Thursday at The Westin Charlotte for an interview with Kelsey Riggs and Wes Durham.
Riggs joked with Uiagalelei, “I thought for sure you were going to show up with some Bo-Berry Biscuits or something for us.”
“That’s probably the second time someone’s said that to me,” Uiagalelei replied, smiling. “I should’ve brought some sweet tea, should’ve brought some Bojangles. That’s on me. I’ll bring some next time.”
After making a couple of spot starts in place of Trevor Lawrence last season when he was sidelined by COVID, Uiagalelei will take the reigns as the Tigers’ full-time starter in 2021.
