Ngata had ‘great spring’, high on confidence

Clemson wide receiver Joseph Ngata gained a lot of valuable experience as a true freshman last season, playing in 304 snaps across all 15 games.

The former five-star recruit recorded 17 receptions for 240 yards and caught a touchdown pass against Charlotte, Louisville and Wake Forest. His first career touchdown catch came vs. Charlotte on Sept. 21, when he led the Tigers in receptions (three) and receiving yards (62) that night.

Ngata, who also averaged 23.2 yards on 14 kickoff returns and shared special teams player of the game honors on a couple of occasions, feels good about the way he finished the year and hopes to take the next step as a sophomore in 2020.
