Ajou Ajou's spring performance shows he's close to breakthrough

Someone inside the Clemson football program told me earlier this week that wide receiver Ajou Ajou is one of the more personable players he’s ever met, and that the Canadian native has such an outsized personality he could make a living in Hollywood. Ajou isn’t quite ready for the bright lights of Tinseltown, but he’s closer to being ready for the stadium lights of college football.

The Brooks, Alberta, product (by way of Clearwater, Florida) led all receivers with six catches for 102 yards and a touchdown in last week’s spring game. The touchdown came on 16-yard strike from quarterback Taisun Phommachanh in the back left corner of the end zone with 13:20 left in the game and jump-started a fourth-quarter comeback that led to a 14-13 victory for Ajou's White squad.
