CLEMSON – Shaq Lawson doesn’t want to be a distraction, and he doesn’t want to mess with the good vibrations surrounding the Clemson football team so he told the nation last week that he has decided to forego his senior season and declare for the NFL Draft.
Lawson told the media at a national awards show last week about his decision, and he met with the Clemson media following Monday’s practice to discuss the decision. Lawson leads the nation with 22.5 tackles for loss – and 18 of those came against Power 5 (plus Notre Dame) teams, including a run of eight in the last four games as the Tigers wrapped up the ACC Atlantic Division and an ACC Championship.
