CLEMSON – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and offensive coordinator Tony Elliott think they have the new Thunder & Lightning headed to Clemson.
Former Clemson running backs James Davis and C.J. Spiller formed the Tigers’ iconic duo that earned the nickname Thunder & Lightning over a decade ago. Davis, out of Georgia, was the Thunder part of the equation while Spiller, a Florida native, was the Lightning part.
Wednesday’s early signing period brought in two running backs who Swinney believes can be the next dynamic duo. Running back Demarkcus Bowman hails from Lakeland, Florida, and would be the new Lightning, while Kobe Pryor (Cedartown, GA) would be the new Thunder.
