Trevor Lawrence Begins Final Season of College Football with Gem at Wake Forest

Many of the first-round prospects for the 2021 NFL draft have opted out of the 2020 college football season, but the presumptive No. 1 pick, Clemson's Trevor Lawrence, demonstrated in Saturday night's 37-13 season-opening win over Wake Forest that he will be balling out this fall.

Speaking with ESPN's Tom Rinaldi during a College GameDay segment on Saturday morning, the junior quarterback said he'll be graduating in December, adding "I'm planning on this being my last season."

It wasn't exactly surprising news. Lawrence has been projected as a top pick in the 2021 draft since before he even took his final snap at Cartersville High School in Georgia.
