Ray Ray McElrathbey to Transfer to Howard

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Clemson’s Ray Ray McElrathbey
says he’s transferring to Howard.

McElrathbey is the football player who earned accolades for
taking custody of his younger brother while going to college. In an
e-mail to The Associated Press on Monday, he said he’s decided to
head to the Washington, D.C., school.

McElrathbey’s mother told The (Charleston) Post and Courier that
McElrathbey chose Howard because of its academics. Her son was
expected to take his 13-year-old brother along.

Clemson said in March that McElrathbey would not play for the
football team. The athletic department had offered McElrathbey a
graduate assistant position with the football team if he wanted to
remain with the Tigers.
