McCloud averaged 10.3 yards per punt return and 23.1 yards per kick return with 57 total attempts. He also has 20 catches for 77 yards in 22 targets as a receiver.

The Tampa-area product was picked in the sixth round of the NFL draft by the Buffalo Bills. He also played for the Carolina Panthers in 2019.

The former 5-star prospect tallied 50 punt returns for 485 yards and a TD at Clemson, as well as 1,332 yards from scrimmage and four more scores.

Former Clemson punter Bradley Pinion also was named second-team for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, averaging 45.2 yards per punt with 19 landing inside the 20.
