CLEMSON – Eric Mac Lain took the long road to becoming a starter on the offensive line, but that doesn’t mean he is jealous of the shorter route Mitch Hyatt has taken. In fact, Mac Lain might be Hyatt’s biggest fan.
Mac Lain arrived on campus way back in 2011 as a tight end and redshirted that season. In 2012 Mac Lain played 38 snaps at tight end and 10 at offensive tackle over 13 games and it was during the 2012 season that Mac Lain finally made the permanent move to the line.
