Jacksonville Jaguars starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence is relatively new to the NFL. The 23-year-old from Knoxville, Tennessee, however, is expected to have a good career down the road. Lawrence, though born in Knoxville, was brought up in Cartersville, Georgia where he spent most of his childhood and teenage life. Trevor is a stoic and tall 6-foot 6-inch quarterback weighing 213 pounds. With a keen interest in football from his early years, Trevor went on to attend Clemson University where he played his college football for the Clemson Tigers.
Before joining Clemson, Trevor was studying at Cartersville High School where he dominated on the field winning 41 consecutive games from his sophomore year to his senior year. Along with that, he won 2 state championships as well as 4 regional titles. There was no doubt about his capabilities as a quarterback coming out of high school and was a deserving five-star recruit.
At Clemson, Lawrence again had three very productive years. In only his Freshman year, he led the Tigers to the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2019. Continuing the good work he built on his freshman year and was drafted with the first pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
As the Jaguars' signal caller for the past two years, Lawrence has seen his side turn things around from the 3-14 record in 2021 to the 9-8 winning season in 2022. Behind the work and ability demonstrated by Trevor, the Jaguars won their first playoff game in 2022 since the 2017 season. The future is bright for the long-haired quarterback.
