CLEMSON - Freshman tight end Jaelyn Lay heard the unmistakable growl of tight ends coach Danny Pearman and whipped his head around, a look of bewilderment on his face. A few minutes later, Lay showed that he had taken Pearman’s guidance to heart and ran a route that drew a smile from former Clemson tight end Garrett Williams.
Make a mistake. Learn. Get better. It’s all part of the process for Lay, a 6-5, 245-pound specimen out of Georgia who has all of the physical tools to be a dominant tight end on the collegiate level.
