One of Clemson’s all-time greats sees himself in a rising star.
Among the many conversations surrounding what this team will look like in 2024, one has pertained to the running back position. The running back room’s success rests on the shoulders of Phil Mafah, who has played by committee to Will Shipley for the last three seasons.
Mafah’s workload has increased each year, coming off 179 carries for 965 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2023.
Clemson’s staff and fans alike saw what life would be like with Mafah as the feature back, as Shipley missed some time with injury late in the season.
