Wide Receiver U: Clemson added more star power with 2016 recruiting class

CLEMSON – Wide Receiver U.

Clemson’s football program is known for churning out great wide receivers, something that co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Jeff Scott uses it to his recruiting advantage. Recent receivers that have used Clemson as a stepping stone into the NFL include Nuk Hopkins, Jaron Brown, Sammy Watkins and Martavis Bryant.

The Tigers return several veterans next season – Artavis Scott, Hunter Renfrow, Deon Cain, Trevion Thompson and Ray-Ray McCloud combined for 220 catches in 2015. Add in Mike Williams – who missed all but a few plays last season – and the Clemson receiving corps would be formidable next season without an influx of talent.
