Brevin Jordan and Trevor Lawrence were once teammates
During their high school careers, Miami Hurricanes tight end Brevin Jordan and Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence were teammates at the high school recruiting showcase The Opening.
On Saturday night they will be opponents but Miami Hurricanes tight end Brevin Jordan and Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence were once teammates at the Nike recruiting showcase The Opening. Also on Jordan and Lawrence’s seven-on-seven team was former Miami QB, Jarren Williams.
Brevin Jordan was the 33rd ranked player overall in the class of 2018, barely missed out on being named a five-star signee and the top-ranked TE in that class nationally. Lawrence was the top-ranked signee in the Class of 2018. Lawrence and defensive end Xavier Thomas gave Clemson two of the top three 2018 signees.
Jordan was the second-highest ranked signee in the 2018 Miami class. Jordan is the highest-ranked player currently on the Miami roster. Running back Lorenzo Lingard was a five-stars signee in 2019. Following a knee injury as a freshman, Lingard never developed at Miami and transferred to Florida during the 2020 offseason.
Lawrence has completely lived up to his ranking. The sure top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the college career Lawrence has had is one of the best in the more than 150 years of college football. Lawrence has continued the tradition of great Clemson QBs under Dabo Swinney. This will be the first game for Lawrence against Miami.

Lawrence will be a flashback to the Miami era of the 1980s, early 1990s and early 2000s when Miami was known as quarterback U. Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar, Vinny Testaverde and Steve Walsh were all first-round NFL Draft picks in the 1980s. Testaverde was the first overall pick in the 1987 NFL Draft.

Facing Lawrence and Clemson is a transcendent game for Jordan and his Miami teammates. The elite players like Lawrence and Jordan have competed with and against each other at various showcases like The Opening. Miami can make a statement on Saturday night by being competitive and potentially upsetting Clemson.
