With star quarterback Trevor Lawrence sidelined for at least Saturday's game against Boston College after testing positive for COVID-19, Clemson is expected to turn the offense over to another former five-star prospect who ranked among the nation's best players in his recruiting class.
True freshman D.J. Uiagalelei (pronounced: oo-ee-AHN-gah-leh-lay), from St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California, chose the Tigers over dozens of offers from the nation's top programs, including Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State and Oklahoma.
Since verbally committing in May 2019, Uiagalelei has been identified as Clemson's quarterback of the future once Lawrence leaves for the NFL.
