Coach Urban Meyer officially named Lawrence the team’s starter for the opener in Houston on Sept. 12.
It puts an end to a manufactured quarterback battle between Lawrence and Gardner Minshew that the coaching staff held on to.
Minshew struggled in two preseason games, outplayed by third-string quarterback CJ Beathard. Lawrence has been above average in two preseason starts but Jacksonville’s future is clearly with the No. 1 overall draft pick.
With more reps and a full-strength offensive line, Lawrence has a much higher ceiling than both Beathard and Minshew.
