C.J. Fuller leads Clemson running backs out of spring

Tony Elliott doesn’t expect to replace Wayne Gallman with one guy.

While Gallman took the lion’s share of carries among Clemson running backs the past three seasons, the Tigers might not have a bell-cow back in 2017.

Redshirt juniors Adam Choice and C.J. Fuller as well as sophomore Tavien Feaster are competing to be the starting running back. All three impressed Elliott, Clemson’s running backs coach and co-offensive coordinator, this spring.

“That’s been probably one of the best competitions that I’ve been around in coaching, those three guys and how they’ve competed against each other,” Elliott said.
