Crawford had this to say about Uiagalelei.

2022 outlook: How deep is the ACC at quarterback this season? Clemson’s starting quarterback is inside the top five of the preseason Heisman frontrunner list and didn’t make the top-half of the league’s individual position rankings. However, considering Uiagalelei’s perceived value in the awards race despite last season’s fall from grace at Clemson, he had to be inside our preseason top 25 at the position and given his potential upside as a key piece of a national championship-contending team, there’s worth here. There’s a reason the 6-foot-4, 250-pounder was a five-star recruit and has been mentioned as a possible first-rounder next spring with a stellar junior campaign.

2021 statistics: 208 of 374, 2,246 yards, 9 touchdowns, 10 interceptions; 105 rushes, 308 yards, four touchdowns.
