Lawrence is 31-1 as a starter, and coming into today, the quarterback was -175 to win the 2020 Heisman Trophy.
Trevor Lawrence has tested positive for COVID-19, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport.
As noted by Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde, Lawrence is expected to miss Saturday's contest against Boston College, unless something changes (a la Nick Saban). But Lawrence's status for Clemson's matchup against Notre Dame looms large. D.J. Uiagalelei is the backup quarterback.
The ACC operates under CDC guidelines, per SI's Ross Dellenger, so a player who tested positive must isolate 10 days from the time of their positive test. If Lawrence received his positive today, then his isolation is expected to end Nov. 8—the day after Clemson plays Notre Dame.
The news comes just over an hour after Dabo Swinney leaves the door open for Lawrence's future, saying he would be 'surprised' if the quarterback returned to Clemson for his senior year.
Lawrence has tallied 1,833 yards and 17 touchdowns in six games this season. He's 31-1 as a starter, and coming into today, the quarterback was -175 to win the 2020 Heisman Trophy.
