With his foot finally in college football’s door, Daniel Rodriguez made the most of his opportunity by catching a pass for an eight-yard gain during Clemson’s initial stadium scrimmage on Saturday.
He’ll have to wait at least another week for his next action, however, after suffering a shoulder injury on his reception.
Rodriguez, a 24-year old U.S, Army veteran who was decorated for his service in both Iraq and Afghanistan, is trying to work his way into Clemson’s wide receiver rotation in a reserve role.
