Some of the top quarterbacks in the ACC, including N.C. State’s Ryan Finley, Georgia Tech’s TaQuon Marshall, Virginia Tech’s Josh Jackson and Syracuse’s Eric Dungey, will be at the ACC Kickoff event in Charlotte July 18-19.
Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant, who led the Tigers to the ACC title and College Football Playoff last season, will not be there.
Instead, Clemson will send defensive end Clelin Ferrell and offensive lineman Mitch Hyatt to the media event.
Fans and media members have speculated that Bryant not attending could be a sign that Trevor Lawrence is moving ahead in the race for Clemson’s starting quarterback job or that Clemson is trying to protect Bryant from having to answer questions about Lawrence.
