Trevor Lawrence has tested positive for COVID-19.

Lawrence is widely expected to be the top overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft should he decide to leave Clemson after his junior season.

Lawrence will miss Saturday's game against Boston College, but could return the following week against Notre Dame.

Lawrence is a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy.

Trevor Lawrence Suggests He Could Remain At Clemson In 2021

Oct 27, 2020 8:30 PM

Trevor Lawrence left open the possibility of returning to Clemson in 2021 for his senior season instead of entering the NFL draft.

"My mindset has been that I'm going to move on," Lawrence said Tuesday. "But who knows? There's a lot of things that could happen."

The New York Jets currently are projected to have the top pick in the draft as the NFL's only winless team.

Lawrence has a 31-1 record as a starting college quarterback and has the top-ranked Tigers (6-0) in line for a sixth consecutive ACC title and trip to the College Football Playoff.

"No matter where I go -- whether that's across the country or whether it's close to home, whether I stay another year -- we'll work it out," Lawrence said.

Sam Darnold: Trevor Lawrence Talk 'Out Of My Control'

Oct 22, 2020 5:56 PM

The New York Jets selected Sam Darnold third overall in 2018 but fans of the team already are eyeing the possibility of selecting Trevor Lawrence if they end up with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 draft.

"Yeah, you know, I mean, I have social media," Darnold said Thursday when asked about Lawrence. "I've seen some of the things, but ... Yeah, we've got a game to win this week and that's all we're worried about."

Darnold has struggled in his third season. He ranks 29th out of 30 qualifying quarterbacks in Total QBR (46.3).

"For me, it's out of my control," he said. "I'm here to do my best and help this team win games."

NFL Threatens Bans, Lost Draft Picks For Not Wearing Masks

Oct 1, 2020 1:43 PM

The NFL has issued another strong warning to coaches who won't wear masks on the sideline during games.

The league is threatening suspensions and forfeiture of draft picks as punishment for failing to comply with COVID-19 game-day protocols, according to a league memo.

The memo, which was sent to coaches, general managers and team executives by NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent, includes a passage in which the NFL says it will "address lack of compliance with accountability measures that may include ... suspensions and/or forfeiture of draft picks."

It's the second time this season that the NFL has warned coaches to comply with coronavirus-related protocols by wearing a mask on the sideline.
