The Kids Show Out: Freshmen have big performances in spring game

CLEMSON – Saturday’s spring game was a day for the kids.

Head coach Dabo Swinney more than once called players like wide receivers Joseph Ngata and Frank Ladson high school players, a nod to the fact that the Tigers’ large class of mid-year enrollees should still be in high school.

Swinney also mentioned to ESPN analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Joey Galloway, and Marty Smith that Ngata and Ladson are ready to play right now.

Ngata made a 70-yard catch-and-run for the Orange team on Saturday (from Trevor Lawrence), while Ladson had a 42-yard catch for the White team in the White team’s 30-10 victory at Death Valley in Clemson.
