Ju-Ju Clayton

Here is a good article from Darryl Slater at the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Here is an exerpt:

But because Clayton spent last season on the scout team, running the opponents' plays, he never actually did any of the things in his notes until Wednesday. And for all the film sessions and the times O'Cain quizzed Clayton and Davis in meetings about a formation, the coach said it is "impossible" to prepare Clayton for the on-field experience until he does it.

"You can read it on the paper, but it's different when you're out here on the field," Clayton said. "There's no paper. Being thrown out there, it's like being thrown into a pack of wolves, basically."

He calmed down as Wednesday's practice proceeded. O'Cain noticed fewer errors and liked how Clayton looked when he threw passes. Clayton almost didn't have this chance to contend. Sixteen months ago, during his senior year at Hermitage, his only Division I-A scholarship offer was from Army.
