No. 2 Clemson rushed for 492 yards and had three backs go over the 100-yard mark in Saturday’s 77-16 demolition of Louisville.
Not a bad way to impress one of the top running backs in the 2019 recruiting cycle, a back that also happens to be committed to Ole Miss.
Jerrion Ealy is a 4-star prospect out of Jackson (MS) Jackson Prep who committed to Ole Miss last December. Ealy (5-9, 195), ranked No. 108 nationally by Rivals, committed to the Rebels to play both football and baseball.
However, the Clemson coaching staff has been looking for a second back for the 2019 cycle and targeted Ealy early in the procefirst-roundid the Clemson visit allowed him to spend time with both the baseball and football head coaches.
