A few that got away from the Vols helped Clemson crush Alabama last night. East Tennessee natives Trevor Lawrence, Tee Higgins and Amari Rodgers all became national champions, serving as a painful reminder for what could have been in Knoxville.
Butch Jones and his staff let each of those three players get away from the program, making things that much tougher for the current staff today. As the story goes, Lawrence was born and raised in East Tennessee, growing up as a fan of the Volunteers. He wears No. 16, idolizing Peyton Manning.
