Ladson makes most of his opportunity in opener

Frank Ladson Jr. missed a chunk of fall camp with a knee injury and had to undergo a minor procedure. So, the freshman wide receiver wasn’t sure if he would be able to return for top-ranked Clemson’s season opener Thursday night against Georgia Tech.

Not only did Ladson see action in the Tigers’ 52-14 victory, but he showed out in front of 79,000-plus fans in Death Valley with a 21-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter.

“It felt great, especially coming back after missing most of fall camp with my knee and everything,” Ladson said after the game.
