The face of the 2021 NFL Draft has secured a spot with Excel Sports Management to take care of his off-field marketing and endorsement endeavors and will be joining an elite roster of talent. The projected number one draft pick is widely considered to be the most anticipated NFL player in decades. Lawrence will be represented by Excel partner and veteran marketing agent, Alan Zucker.

The 21-year-old, 6’6”, 220-pound quarterback is from Cartersville, Georgia. During high school, he began starting in the third game of his freshman year and was 52-2 as a starter in his career, which included a 41-game winning streak and 14-2 record in the playoffs. He led his team to four region titles and two state titles. He had 13,908 passing yards and 161 touchdowns against 21 interceptions in his high school career. Lawrence set state records for passing yards and passing touchdowns that were previously held by former Clemson Tiger Deshaun Watson. He was first-team all-state as a sophomore, junior and senior. After his high school career, he enrolled early at Clemson in January 2018.

Lawrence also became the first freshman starting quarterback to lead his team to a national title since Oklahoma’s Jamelle Holieway in 1985.

In his sophomore season, things continued to go well as he was one of 10 student-athletes across all sports to be named a finalist for the AAU’s James E. Sullivan Award. Lawrence was also a Manning Award finalist, Davey O’Brien Award semifinalist, Walter Camp Player of the Year semifinalist, first-team All-ACC selection, and earned second straight All-ACC Academic Selection.
