Clemson Football: Names to Know for Florida Atlantic

Who are the main offensive threats that Clemson will face on Saturday?

Who are the names that could be threats to the Clemson Tigers' defense this Saturday? The FAU Owls are sitting at 1-1 heading into week 3 with their latest effort resulting in a 17-10 loss against Miami (Ohio). 

Here's who's given their best performances so far this year:

Quarterback Casey Thompson (FAU Athletics)

Passing: QB Casey Thompson

• The 2-time transfer comes into his first year at Florida Atlantic in his 5th year of college ball. He's a guy that's played a lot of football at Texas in 2021 and Nebraska in 2022 so there's plenty of experience at the Power 5 level. The first 2 games as an Owl have had very mixed results but he's got the talent to make big plays.
• Season Stats: 460 yards passing, 64.2% completion, 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions

Running: RB Larry McCammon

• The 5th year senior with the rare feat of all 5 years coming at FAU. He rushed for over 1,000 yards in 2022 and he decided to come back this season for more. Started off strong with 125 yards and a TD against Monmouth in week 1 but the Bobcats of Miami held him to just 23 yards, obviously below his average. 
• Season stats: 20 carries for 148 yards and 1 touchdown. 7 catches for 75 yards.

Receiving: WRs LaJohntay Wester and Tony Johnson

• Both of these guys have had strong performances to start the year as the duo have both gone over 100 yards through 2 games and have accounted for 3 of the 5 touchdowns caught so far for the Owls. Wester, the junior, and Johnson, the sophomore, will draw most of the Tigers' secondary's eyes.
• Season Stats: Wester - 18 catches for 156 yards and 1 touchdown. 
Johnson - 8 catches for 119 yards and 2 touchdowns.
