No. 1 Clemson will be without the virtual lock of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft this Saturday.
Trevor Lawrence, the runaway Heisman Trophy favorite right now and already the winner of one national championship and runner-up for another has tested positive for COVID-19 according to a report from Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
Clemson plays Boston College this Saturday as Lawrence officially will not play.

The Tigers travel to No. 4 Notre Dame the following week for one of the most anticipated games in all of college football for 2020. There is no word on whether or not Lawrence will return to action for that.
