Scott says freshman tight ends ‘are going to have an impact’

For those that think freshmen tight ends Jaelyn Lay and Davis Allen will not make an impact this season for top-ranked Clemson, then they’re wrong. At least that is what co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott says.

“I think they are going to have an impact because they are going to play, just based on where our numbers are,” he said.

The Tigers’ numbers at tight end are not good heading into the new season. Clemson lost three veteran players from last year’s team to eligibility or giving football up. Milan Richard and Cannon Smith both finished their college football careers, while Garrett Williams has given up football to pursue a career in the military.
