The 2020 college football season is in serious doubt amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with schools and conferences at every level altering their schedules or canceling their seasons entirely in recent days.
Some of the top prospects in the country have also been making the decision to opt out of any college football that might be played this season, opting instead to begin preparing for the 2021 NFL Draft.
Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the early favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft, appears to have no plans to sit out the season:
I don’t know about y’all, but we want to play.

Lawrence has been destined for the top spot in the 2021 draft since his spectacular freshman season, which was capped by a dominant performance against Alabama in a blowout in for the national title. While his play ebbed and flowed throughout his sophomore campaign, he’s still widely regarded as the man to beat for that No. 1 pick.
It remains to be seen how much college football we’ll get this season, if any, but if it’s being played, you can expect to see Lawrence out there.
