Gage Larvadain wasn’t drafted.
But the former South Carolina standout is making a real case to have a spot on an NFL roster.
Larvadain is shining at Cleveland Browns training camp.
The Athletic’s Zac Jackson wrote this about Larvadain’s play so far:
“The camper of the day Saturday was undrafted rookie wide receiver Gage Larvadain, who’s made a notable play on most days but made multiple impressive catches Saturday. If Larvadain keeps it up, he’ll make the team.”
Larvadain also posted this wholesome content on X:

Larvadain’s journey to this point wasn’t straightforward.
He went to Southeastern Louisiana University out of high school in that state, and he also joined their basketball team as a walk-on.
He was the Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and spent two seasons at SELA, including 11 basketball games.
After those two years, he transferred to Miami (Ohio), where he had 42 catches for 679 yards and six TDs.
After that season, he transferred to South Carolina. With the Gamecocks, he had 19 catches for 223 yards and a touchdown.
Larvadain measured just 5-foot-8, 170 pounds at his Pro Day.
The Browns signed him on after rookie minicamp because he made an impression there, and so far, he keeps making a good impression.
Cleveland has a pretty wide open battle at the back half of its receiving corps. Larvadain can really make the team, and like Jackson wrote, he will if he keeps playing this well.
