Wide Receiver

X (Boundary)- Justyn Ross

  • E.J. Williams

Y (Slot)- Frank Ladson Jr.

  • Brannon Spector

Z (Field)- Joseph Ngata

  • Beaux Collins

Again, sticking with two-deep here, this is how we expect the Tigers to look. A lot of people have Brannon Spector starting in the slot, but there’s something in me that believes we could see Ladson Jr. with his speed and size take over that spot even if he doesn’t necessarily fit the ‘mold.’

E.J. Williams and Justyn Ross (who is still limited) will man the boundary and then we’ll see Joseph Ngata take on that ‘field’ role.

Incoming freshmen 4-star Beaux Collins and 4-star Dacari Collins are both set to make impacts, but I think the chemistry with D.J. Uiagalelei might lead to Beaux having a solid spring.

5-star Troy Stellato will arrive this summer and he’ll be competing heavily at that slot position. Clemson also has Ajou Ajou and Will Swinney at its disposal in terms of depth options.
