Clemson had one of the best playmaking duos in college football history.
When discussing the greatest players in ACC football history, Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne’s names must be mentioned.
Lawrence is one of the best quarterbacks the conference and college football have ever seen, while Etienne is statistically the best running back the conference has ever had. The two were phenomenal as they led the Tigers to a National Championship win, and they did it as a duo.
Recently, 247Sports ranked the Top 50 college football playmaking duos of all time, with this Clemson duo landing at No. 9 all time.
Two of the ACC’s greatest players of all-time at their respective positions, Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne were key cogs in Clemson’s 15-0 national title-winning season in 2018 with incredible numbers. A former five-star recruit, Lawrence threw for 3,280 yards as a freshman that campaign with 30 touchdowns. He followed that up with a 36-touchdown season as a sophomore. Via Clemson Athletics, Etienne was part of a senior class that helped Clemson to four ACC titles, four College Football Playoff berths, two national championship appearances and a national title, all while becoming the first FBS senior class since 2010 to go undefeated at home (27-0 at Death Valley)
There’s no denying what this duo did during their time together in college football. They were a force, and the best part is that they remain together in the NFL as members of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
