New Orleans VooDoo News Release
NEW ORLEANS, La. - New Orleans VooDoo defensive back Charles Clay has been placed on other league exempt, announced the VooDoo front office Tuesday morning.
Clay (5-10, 205, Hawaii) has been acquired by the Ottawa REDBLACKS of the Canadian Football League.
"We are happy for Clay; he is a good player," said Head Coach Cokinos. "At the end of the day our goal is to build a deep roster of quality players. We understand that we will lose a portion of these players to the NFL or CFL. That is part of the process for us."
Before signing with the VooDoo, Clay spent time with the Green Bay Packers of the NFL in 2014. During his collegiate career, Clay played free safety for the Rainbow Warriors, participated in Hawaii's Pro Day where he ran a 4.44-second forty-yard dash and put up a 37-1/2" vertical jump. The NFL Draft Scout reported that at one of the NFL's Super Regional Scouting Combines, Clay had excellent times in the 20-yard shuttle drill (4.15 seconds) and 3-cone drill (6.88 seconds).
After transferring from Southern Methodist University, Clay started seven games for Hawaii, but played in all 37 games over his final three seasons. He recorded one sack, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and eight pass breakups.
