Over three seasons, the former five-star prospect totaled 127 catches for 1,226 yards with four touchdowns. "I'd like to thank my teammates for all the support and hard work they've put in to help this program be a championship contender year-in and year-out," McCloud's statement continued, "my coaches for pushing me each and everyday to be a better man first and foremost, and to develop into the player I am today. Last but not least - the Clemson Fans! You all have truly been a blessing in my life and to whom I feel I owe a great deal of gratitude for all the Love and support you've shown me from day one.
