Plyler on Cloy: "Before the Shrine Bowl I thought he would be a tight end that that would grow to a center, but he surprised me because he is bigger than I thought. He reminds me a little style-wise of for former Tiger Kyle Young. He is a very discipline player and a bright guy. He comes from a military family .and has a high character background. He had offers from almost every ACC school."
