CLEMSON – With Justyn Ross on the shelf this season, one of the questions surrounding Clemson’s inexperienced receivers was who would emerge as the deep threat.
That question might have gotten an answer Saturday when sophomore Frank Ladson broke loose for three receptions for 87 yards and two scores. The first score was a 17-yarder in which he showed great hands and body control while taking the ball away from the defender. The second one was a burst of pure speed, a 54-yard pitch-and-catch from Trevor Lawrence.
Ladson missed time at the start of last fall while recovering from an ankle injury, and missed part of this year’s camp in COVID-19 protocol.
