Swinney says Uiagalelei can make ‘Trevor just kind of look normal’

It’s not every day another quarterback can make Trevor Lawrence look normal, but that is what freshman D.J. Uiagalelei did at times during Clemson’s nine spring practices, according to his head coach.

Dabo Swinney said, while giving the media a post-spring practice update on Friday, that Uiagalelei was just unbelievable at times during the Tigers’ nine practices this spring, especially given his size … 6-foot-5, 245 pounds.

“D.J. is, he is just an unbelievable talent. He is just unbelievable,” Swinney said. “To see a guy that big, he sometimes makes Trevor, and we all know what type of arm Trevor has, and sometimes he makes Trevor just kind of look normal with his ability to just rip that football.
