Trevor Lawrence already has some very famous friends. Everyone knew Trevor Lawrence was going to be drafted #1 overall, there really wasn’t much suspense when the draft kicked off. There was a bit of a surprise involved with the pick though. Fans who were watching the broadcast were trying to figure out who that famous face was.
The man in question ended up being figured out, it was Hootie and the Blowfish front man, Darius Rucker.

According to Scott Eisberg of WCIV. Eisberg explained that there was a connection between Lawrence, from Clemson, and Rucker, the Hootie and the Blowfish lead singer who is a well-known South Carolina Gamecocks fan.
Yes- that is Darius Rucker, two over from Brandon Streeter at Lawrence's house.
Darius is part of the MGC Sports Agency that represents Lawrence, helping get their athletes acclimated to money/fame etc. https://t.co/Y1hYbyOWkH pic.twitter.com/EN8cWrx0Eb

Apparently he was also there for some Wingstop Feeds the Crave promotion.
Synergy at its finest.
What an interesting celeb to have at your house. Hootie, Hootie, Hootie!
