CLEMSON — For over a decade, Kobe McCloud had one dream — to play football at Clemson.
After watching his brother Ray-Ray, a former Tiger standout and current NFL wide receiver, start for three years and win a national championship under head coach Dabo Swinney, committing to Clemson felt like destiny for the younger McCloud.
“I knew the ins and outs of Clemson,” the linebacker once said. “I knew everything about it. I knew all the coaches growing up since I was in middle school, and the vision they had for me that they planned out. It sounded like it was something that was going to not just be good for me for three or four years, but for the 30-year-old old version of me.
