CLEMSON – Sean Mac Lain embodies the best of Clemson’s military tradition and the best of his own family’s tradition. A military tradition.
The redshirt sophomore wide receiver out of Hope Mills, N.C., is the younger brother of starting left guard Eric Mac Lain. He isn’t on athletic scholarship, and he wears an Air Force ROTC uniform when he isn't in the uniform of a Clemson football player.
This past summer – while most of his Clemson teammates were undergoing summer conditioning programs and catching up on summer school – Mac Lain was preparing for what he hopes is a future as a fighter pilot by participating in ROTC Field Training in Alabama with his unit from Clemson.
