1. D.J. Uiagalelei

You can’t talk about ‘reloading’ without mentioning the replacement to three-year starter Trevor Lawrence at quarterback.

Lawrence won three ACC Championships, made three CFB Playoff appearances and won a National Title in his time with the Clemson football program.

Now, the keys have been turned over to former 5-star D.J. Uiagalelei and the expectation is that the offense will continue to trek right along.

Uiagalelei looked elite in his two starts last season- throwing for nearly 800 yards and accounting for six touchdowns- and he is considered one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy this year.

Watching out, College Football. Clemson isn’t going anywhere and the Tigers will be back this fall reloaded and ready as ever.
