Conference: ACC
Coach Stats
Why should this nominee be considered for the Broyles Award?
On a staff that includes two former Broyles Award winners (Offensive Coordinator Tony Elliott and Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables), Brandon Streeter’s work with Clemson’s quarterbacks has powered one of the nation’s top passing offenses in the midst of one of the winningest eras by a single program in major college football history. Beyond the work Streeter has done in helping develop Trevor Lawrence, whom many observers have dubbed as a “generational talent,” over the last three years, his body of work has been evident in the performance of true freshman quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei. Filling in for Lawrence for two starts, Uiagalelei went 59-for-85 (69.4 pct.) for 781 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions as well as two rushing touchdowns, including 439 yards at No. 4 Notre Dame, the most ever thrown against the Irish. In fact, since joining Clemson, Streeter’s Tigers have started a true freshman quarterback 13 times, posting an 12-1 record in those games thanks to his development of young quarterbacks.
