The difference between the success the Clemson football program has had compared to other dynasties in the past has a lot to do with the ability to recruit and hit on the most important position on the field.
The legacy started with Tajh Boyd. From there, the Tigers built with Deshaun Watson– who left the Clemson football program as arguably the greatest of all-time- and now they are currently in the Trevor Lawrence era.
Both Watson and Lawrence led the Tigers to two National Championship appearances and one National Title victory apiece and it should be noted that Lawrence still possesses two more years of eligibility, though he is expected to declare for the NFL Draft next spring.
