On Thursday night, former Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence was finally taken No. 1 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has been touted as the next best thing at quarterback after having an awesome college career, leading the Tigers to a national title as a freshman and then to the playoffs in the next two seasons.
Following the draft on Thursday night, his new wife, Marissa, took to Instagram and posted a special message as well as pictures of the night they had at the Draft.
“Officially JAGS!!! So excited to be in the sunshine state. Just so thankful!!” she said on Instagram.

In his final season at Clemson, Lawrence threw for 3,153 yards with 24 touchdowns and five interceptions.
“I’d have to say that’s the direction we’re going. I’ll leave that up to the owner when we make that decision official. But I’m certainly not stepping out of line that that’s certainly the direction we’re headed,” Meyer said in March. “Trevor checks all the boxes, you know?”
“The number one common quality of every great player, not just quarterback, is competitive maniac. He’s 34-2. Won a national title as a true freshman. Is a winner. I’ve seen him up close and in person compete. And then character. I see him and I witness with my players, when the guys get drafted high, a lot of people get . . . They have influences in their live. Like, whether it be social media, whether it be other things that really don’t pertain to winning.”
Lawrence will now be handed the keys to a franchise that is on a 15-game losing streak and has only qualified for the postseason just 3 times since the end of the 1999 season.
