Ready-made products: Freshmen wide receivers made their mark in the spring

The Clemson coaching staff isn’t big on praising freshmen or throwing out compliments, so when one of them throws out comparisons to past players, you listen in.

Co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott welcomed three new receivers into the fold in January in Joe Ngata, Frank Ladson, and Brannon Spector. All three impressed during spring practice, and Ladson and Ngata combined for ten catches for 229 yards in the Orange and White Game.

Elliott merely smiles when he’s asked about the influx of talent the Tigers get at that position every year.
