Former Clemson hoopster Naz Bohannon gets an invite to NFL minicamp

When a player from Clemson attends an NFL rookie minicamp, they’re usually a highly-touted prospect that several teams sought going into draft day. As it turns out, the Tigers are breeding NFL players on the basketball court as well.

Former Clemson basketball forward Naz Bohannon is set to participate in a tryout for the Jacksonville Jaguars rookie minicamp as a tight end, per his agent, On3’s Matt Zenitz reports.

The 6-foot-6, 230-pound former Tiger averaged 5.7 points and 4.1 rebounds per game for Clemson last season. Prior to that, Bohannon spent his first four years of college basketball at Youngstown State University and averaged 16.5 points and 8.2 rebounds in his first senior season.

Also attending Jaguars minicamp, obviously, are the seven players Jacksonville drafted over the weekend during the 2022 NFL Draft. Leading the group is No. 1 overall pick Travon Walker, who looks to be the next big star on Jacksonville’s roster next to Josh Allen on the defensive side of the ball.
