4. Frank Ladson Jr.

Frank Ladson Jr. has the size, measurables and talent to be a key target in this Clemson offense. He’s going to be relied upon to take that next step this year, without a doubt.

Ladson Jr. is going to compete with fellow sophomore Joseph Ngata for starting reps and he’ll be placed at different positions across the field.

Look for Ladson Jr. to get plenty of playing time and to have more than 40 receptions before the season is finished.
