Next step for Uiagalelei is to become elite

Dabo Swinney wants to see his new quarterback take ownership of the Clemson offense this summer.

With Trevor Lawrence off to the NFL, D.J. Uiagalelei is now the new face of the Tigers’ offense. It is his turn to continue to take Clemson into the future, as others have before him in Tajh Boyd, Deshaun Watson, Kelly Bryant and Lawrence.

Those four quarterbacks won Clemson seven ACC Championships with Watson and Lawrence guiding the Tigers to two national championships, as well.

“He really had a good spring, but we are talking about trying to be elite and helping him reach it,” Swinney said.
