CLEMSON – When Ray-Ray McCloud stepped on campus a little over a year ago, the fans expected him to be an instant superstar. However, the former 5-star prospect had some growing up he needed to do.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has had several 5-stars at Clemson, and McCloud said Swinney’s message to him when he arrived at Clemson was simple.
