Clemson won’t have Will Shipley in the stable for 2024, but the Tigers still have an impressive backfield to work with. Phil Mafah is taking over the reins, something that felt inevitable after last season as he had his true breakout late in the season. Nothing was more proving of that than his four-touchdown and […]
CLEMSON – The running back room at Clemson is known for its physicality and not often its speed in the last couple seasons. Enter freshman David Eziomume, who has the speed to boost the unit.

CLEMSON – The “dirt raid” for Clemson will require plenty of rushing success for offensive coordinator Garrett Riley to come to fruition.

Spiller has a hard decision to make when he decides later this summer who Clemson’s starting running back will be when the Tigers’ open the 2021 season on Sept. 4.
