Lawrence was taken 17th overall by the New York Giants. The defensive tackle was first-team all-ACC and Associated Press All-American team.

Lawrence and Wilkins will join other current/former Clemson players Trevor Lawrence, Tee Higgins, Justyn Ross, Travis Etienne, AJ Terrell and Beaufort standout Nyles Pinckney. Other camp staff includes South Carolina offensive linemen Donell Stanley and Sindarius Hutcherson, Ohio State’s JK Dobbins and KJ Hill, Miami Dolphins Raekwon McMillian, Louisville’s Mekhi Betcon and Dez Fitzpatrick and Georgia’s Richard LeCounte.

Times for the camp are 5:30-8 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday-Sunday. Camp is $150 and you can at islandcenter.org.
