From Rivals.com national recruiting director Adam Gorney this morning:
In three seasons at Clemson, Lawrence completed more than 66 percent of his passes for 10,098 yards with 90 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He was then the first player drafted in 2021 with BYU QB Zach Wilson and North Dakota State’s Trey Lance the next two two picks although neither might be a start this upcoming season. Ending second in the rankings behind Lawrence was Chicago Bears franchise QB Justin Fields, who went No. 11 overall in that draft class.
For years, Lawrence was more than available with his time for interviews and whatever else was needed on the recruiting scene. He had an up-and-down performance at the All-American Bowl following his senior year which at least opened up the discussion to make Fields No. 1 overall but that was shut down pretty quickly as we considered Lawrence’s entire body of work.

Looking back at the QBs who have been No. 1 overall
Lawrence is the epitome of what we’re looking for in a No. 1 prospect, a No. 1 quarterback and it all proved perfectly well since the former five-star delivered at Clemson and then was the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. From our perspective, it cannot get much better as Lawrence was who we thought he was and now is leading an upstart Jacksonville Jaguars franchise.In three seasons at Clemson, Lawrence completed more than 66 percent of his passes for 10,098 yards with 90 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
