When Jaelyn Lay first got to Clemson, the coaching staff was expecting the freshman tight end to come in and pick everything up. However, that did not happen during the spring.
The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Atlanta native struggled a little more than they thought, and it surprised them.
“Coming out of the spring, we were expecting one thing and did not quite see what we thought,” Clemson co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott said after Friday’s practice, the Tigers seventh of fall camp.
But when the coaches stepped away from practice and started to watch more film, they got a better perspective on what they are asking the true freshman to do.
