Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence became an instant national treasure after the 19-year-old threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns in a stunning 44-16 drubbing of the formidable Alabama Crimson Tide. Lawrence became the the first true freshman to win a National Championship since 1985, adding Offensive MVP to his resume in the process. Maybe he’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline.
In two playoff games this season, the 5-star QB from Johnson City, Tennessee has thrown for 741 passing yards and 6 TD passes. After the National Championship victory, former Cowboys VP of Player Personnel Gil Grant dubbed the 19-year-old “the best true freshman QB I’ve ever seen” and instructed NFL teams to make as many trades for 2021 picks as they could. The good news for Clemson is that Lawrence will need to spend at least the next two seasons with the Tigers before making the jump to the pros.
The moment Lawrence becomes eligible, NFL coaches will be flocking to the future Pantene Pro-V model like basic chicks to Sweetgreen.

Let’s not crown this dude Uncle Rico yet, but I think it’s safe to say that Trevor Lawerence isn’t leaving the spotlight anytime soon. Let’s just hope the light doesn’t fry that lettuce.
