Clemson announces players out for Wake Forest game

CLEMSON — Justyn Ross isn’t the only starting Clemson receiver who will miss Saturday’s game against Wake Forest.

The Tigers will also be without EJ Williams, Clemson announced Saturday morning.

That means that Clemson’s top four receivers — Williams, Ross, Frank Ladson and Joseph Ngata — will not play against the Demon Deacons.

The only healthy receivers who started their careers as scholarship players are freshmen Dacari Collins, Troy Stellato and Beaux Collins and sophomore Ajou Ajou. Former walk-ons Will Brown and Will Swinney are also expected to contribute against the Demon Deacons.

Other players out for Clemson are linebacker LaVonta Bentley and defensive end Justin Mascoll.
