Ray-Ray McCloud

Who was Clemson’s lead wide receiver Saturday? It wasn’t Artavis Scott, it wasn’t Germone Hopper, it wasn’t Charone Peake, it was Ray-Ray McCloud. The true-freshman saw the field early and often as he ended up with 8 receptions for 80 yards overall. The passing attack was spread out all day, but McCloud was the leading receiver.

I wanted to give him props for stepping up and showing what he can do this early in the season. Obviously, Artavis Scott also had a great game and he deserves some recognition as well. I was impressed with Ray-Ray McCloud and I think he will be a huge contributor going forward with the Clemson offense.

Clemson football fans are certainly in for a treat for the next few seasons with Ray-Ray McCloud. He is going to be one special athlete and he has the speed, athleticism, and hands to be an elite wide receiver at the collegiate and professional level.
