Clemson junior quarterback Trevor Lawrence said on ESPN’s Gameday show Saturday that he plans to enter the NFL draft after this season.
“I will graduate in December,” Lawrence told ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi. “I’m planning on this being my last season.”
Lawrence, from Cartersville, Ga., led Clemson to a national championship as a true freshman and back to the title game last season. He is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick of the NFL draft.
Clemson begins its season 7:30 p.m. Saturday (ABC) at Wake Forest.
