Trevor Lawrence, junior quarterback for the No.1-ranked Clemson Tigers and front-runner for the Heisman Trophy, will not play in Saturday's game against Boston College after testing positive for COVID-19. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney announced the news Thursday night in a statement.
“Trevor has authorized us this evening to announce that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now in isolation," Swinney said. "He is doing well with mild symptoms but will not be available for this week’s game against Boston College.
"While we certainly will miss Trevor, this is an opportunity for other guys to step up and we’re excited about competing against a very good BC team on Saturday.
