When Travis Etienne came to Clemson in 2017, he quickly became the talk of preseason camp that summer. But despite he hype, some wondered if he had what it took to overtake 5-star running back Tavien Feaster.
During his freshman season, Etienne and Feaster shared the workload, and even though Feaster started 11 of the Tigers’ 14 games, it became clear Etienne was the better running back. By the start of the 2018 season, Etienne won the job and over the next three seasons he became the greatest running back to ever carry the football, not just at Clemson, but in the ACC.
