Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott noticed a different demeanor in wide receiver Frank Ladson during spring practice this year as opposed to last year when he was a true freshman trying to learn the ropes, take everything in and get acclimated to playing for a big-time college football program.
“The way he walks around the building now, he’s got his head up, he’s got his chest out, and he’ll engage more,” Elliott said recently. “He was really quiet just because he was trying to figure things out, but now we got a little thing where me and him will joke back and forth, and I can just tell that his confidence is building.
