Fall camp notes: Some freshmen are starting to stand out

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney really likes the progress freshman tight end Jaelyn Lay has made during the first three days of fall camp.

The Tigers are hopeful Lay, and fellow freshman Davis Allen, can be ready to go by the time they open the season on Aug. 29 against Georgia Tech. Clemson is in desperate need of depth at tight end following the NCAA suspension of Braden Galloway and Garrett Williams’ decision to end his career a year earlier than expected.

Right now, junior J.C. Chalk is the only tight end on Clemson’s roster with game day experience.
