“Trevor has authorized us this evening to announce that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and is not in isolation. He is doing well with mild symptoms but will not be available for this week’s game against Boston College.

Trevor Lawrence also released a statement via Twitter Thursday evening.

“I have tested positive for COVID-19, and my symptoms have been relatively mild while I’m following the protocol from Clemson and the ACC. The only thing that hurts is missing an opportunity to be with my teammates this weekend and play the game I love. I hate that I can’t be there, but I’ll be watching from isolation and pulling for our guys while I wait for the opportunity rejoin the team. God bless and Go Tigers!” said Lawrence.
