Lawrence will miss Clemson's game against Boston College this weekend.

Trevor Lawrence, one of college football's leading voices to play this season amid the ongoing pandemic, has tested positive for the coronavirus, the Clemson QB confirmed on Thursday.

"I have tested positive for Covid-19, and my symptoms have been relatively mild while I'm following the protocol from Clemson.", Lawrence wrote.

Lawrence's diagnosis seemed to come at a time when he technically could have complied with the ACC's 10-day mandatory isolation for players who test positive, and still play against the Irish.

While Lawrence has never missed a start for Clemson since taking over the offense in September 2018, he did go down with an injury in the first half of his first start against Syracuse that year. "God bless and Go Tigers!"

The Tigers received 33 first-place votes - 19 fewer than last week - and the Crimson Tide (6-0) received the other 29 following a 41-0 win against Mississippi State.

Minus Lawrence on Saturday, Clemson (7-0) rallied from an 18-point deficit in the second quarter behind backup quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei and senior running back Travis Etienne. He will likely be replaced by freshman quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei, who was the No. 3 college quarterback recruit in the USA in 2020, according to ESPN. The pro-style quarterback was the No. 10 recruit in the class of 2020 thanks to a stellar career at St. John Bosco High School in California.

Lawrence has completed 70.7% of his passes this season, throwing for 17 touchdowns, and has also rushed for four scores.
