Lay feels ready to make impact for Tigers after redshirt year

Tight end Jaelyn Lay admits he was disappointed when he found out halfway through his freshman season at Clemson in 2019 that he was going to redshirt.

However, when he reflects on his redshirt year now, he knows it was good for his development and believes it will help him moving forward.

“Now, I can look back and be glad on it, because coming in I wasn’t thinking I was going to redshirt. But it happened midseason,” Lay told The Clemson Insider recently.

“I think it’ll benefit in the long run so I can focus on my game, focus on what I need to work on and just improve every day in practice,” he added.
