Trio of young receivers expected to step up in 2020

CLEMSON – A trio of second-year receivers is expected to take the next step in their progress during the 2020 season, and offensive coordinator Tony Elliott thinks they have the right stuff.

Brannon Spector, Frank Ladson, and Joseph Ngata all had their moments last season, but their production dipped as the year progressed. Ngata had 16 catches during the regular season but caught just one ball in the final three games – and 11-yarder against Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Ladson battled an injury during fall camp and never got into a rhythm, catching just eight passes during the regular season and only one pass in the postseason (although it went for 57 yards).
