Jacoby Clay (born December 16, 1996) was an American football wide receiver for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL). He played college football for Louisiana State University (LSU) before being drafted by the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers in the 2034 DSFL Draft (S19).
Early years
Born in Denton, Tx, Jacoby was raised by a 'Football' family. Uncles and brothers, as well as his father had played exceptionally well at the college level. During the early years of Clay's football career he struggled, playing one age group above his own. His father, Charles, put Clay through rigorous training and drills from day one. Gifted with athleticism, and being in the 90th percentile for height his entire life, Clay thrived in just about everything sports related.
College career
Clay continued to produce in college. When the competition rose, he rose above the competition. Talks of the draft began very early into his college career. Clay won SEC Freshman of the year, and was in the running for the Heisman during his true freshman season. Clay was graded as the number 3 and number 6 WR in college football in his Sophomore and Junior years respectively. Clay was a reliable target, and extremely deadly in the Redzone. Clay racked up 151 redzone targets through his 4 years at LSU, which he turned into 123 receptions for an absurd 82% completion rate. Over 70% of his targets were in the Redzone while the the rest of the high-powered LSU offense took care of the rest. After his senior year, Clay declared for the NSFL draft after being heavily scouted. And soon after, all of his training and hard work came to fruition.
Professional career
DSFL career
In the season 19 NSFL draft, Jacoby Clay slid way down into the 4th round, going 17th overall to the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. This was incredibly surprising considering the buzz Clay had been producing during his historical senior season at Louisiana State University. With a chip on his shoulder, Jacoby was welcomed into the Buccaneers Organization where he is currently flourishing. Clay performed well in Training Camp and has been a positive influence in the locker room and on social media. Clay has been showing up to practice early, and staying late to squeeze extra work in. Clay reportedly was not happy with his draft position, and has been working hard to prove himself as a young talented rookie. The teams that passed on the young WR may soon come to regret their decision. The REAL first chapter of Jacoby Clay's young career is just beginning.
