Eight of Clemson’s signees in the 2018 recruiting class played in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, which took place Saturday in San Antonio and was televised live by NBC.
It wasn’t the best day for Trevor Lawrence as he threw two interceptions in the first quarter. However, the five-star quarterback from Cartersville, Ga., bounced back near the end of the game, leading the East team on a scoring drive in the fourth quarter that he capped with a touchdown pass.
Xavier Thomas, Jackson Carman, Derion Kendrick, Kyler McMichael, Josh Belk, Justin Mascoll and BT Potter all represented the Tigers as Clemson signees in the game as well.
Check out what they are saying about Clemson’s recruits in the Army Bowl:
Not a great day for Trevor Lawrence, but this is why he's the No. 1 recruit in the nation. pic.twitter.com/8T32eED75F

Nice to see Trevor Lawrence putting together such a nice TD drive after throwing two early picks. Two TDs for James Cook. Looks like MVP.

Trevor Lawrence has thrown for 13,902 yards and 161 TDs in his career with only 21 INTs and I'm supposed to panic about a game in which he had 1 week to work on chemistry with his WRs??? No thanks not biting…
