Clemson star quarterback Trevor Lawrence announced Wednesday that his college football career has ended and he will instead pursue opportunities as a professional. The presumptive No. 1 overall pick indicated that he will declare for the 2021 NFL Draft in a video released through the Tigers where Lawrence thanks fans, teammates and coaches for his time at Clemson.
Lawrence led Clemson to a national championship in 2018 as a true freshman and was a Heisman Trophy finalist this season, finishing second in balloting. He was instrumental in the Tigers winning three straight ACC championship and advancing to the College Football Playoff in each of the last three seasons. Clemson also played for the national title in consecutive campaigns, though it lost in 2019 to LSU.

If Justin Thomas is able to finish on top of the leaderboard this week at the 2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions, he’ll become the first golfer since Geoff Ogilvy (2009-10) to win this event in back-to-back years. Thomas, the No. 3 ranked player in the world, will have to stave off a number of serious contenders if he wants to rewrite the history books. Dustin Johnson, a two-time winner of this event, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed are among the experienced players looking to dethrone Thomas and win the 2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions.
Play gets underway from the Plantation Course at Kapalua on Thursday, Jan. 7. Johnson enters this week’s event as the Vegas favorite.
