Clemson Tigers QB Trevor Lawrence, likely No. 1 overall pick, enters NFL draft

If there was any real drama remaining for Clemson fans, Trevor Lawrence put an official end to it Wednesday, releasing a video on social media announcing he would enter the NFL draft.

"My time here has been amazing, and I'll be a Clemson Tiger forever," Lawrence said in the video.

Lawrence led Clemson to a national championship as a freshman in 2018 and won his first 25 starts for the Tigers before falling to LSU in last year's title game. He made the College Football Playoff all three years of his career at Clemson. He finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting announced Tuesday, and he's widely expected to be the No. 1 overall selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2021 NFL draft.
