Top prospect Lawrence appears to declare for draft … Clemson junior QB Trevor Lawrence, the consensus favorite to be the first player selected at the 2021 draft, appeared to indicate that this will definitely be his final year in college during a pre-game interview yesterday on ESPN’s College Game Day. Lawrence, who still hasn’t officially declared, was quoted as saying that he was “graduating in December and planning on this being my last year.” Of course, that also appears to leave the door slightly ajar to returning, although nobody around the Clemson program thinks there a chance this won’t be his last season. And once on the field yesterday, Lawrence didn’t show any rust as he lead the Tigers to an easy 37-13 season opening win at Wake Forest yesterday. Along the way, Lawrence completed 22 of 28 passes for 351 yards and a TD in just under three quarters of action, while also chipping in a career-high two rushing touchdowns.
