Former Clemson TE Jaelyn Lay commits to new school
CLEMSON — Jaelyn Lay has found his new home.
The former Clemson tight end announced on Twitter on Tuesday that he will continue his career at Alabama State.
Lay officially entered the transfer portal on Jan. 2 after playing in only three games this past season.
Lay signed with Clemson as a four-star recruit in the class of 2019 and was considered to be one of the top tight end prospects in the country coming out of high school.
However, he didn’t contribute much for the Tigers before entering the transfer portal this offseason.
