Cormani McClain was intended to be a star receiver in high school but an injury to a teammate forced him into action as a cornerback during his sophomore season. He thrived immediately and became a play-making cornerback with an interception in every game he started as a sophomore. That type of play allowed him to earn recognition as the region’s defensive player of the year. Videos of McClain’s efforts – both at receiver and defensive back – have gone viral multiple times on social media. Both of McClain’s parents – Cory McClain and Tikisha White – went to school at Florida State.
