Coaches say Pryor will be ‘Thunder’ to Bowman’s ‘Lightning’

Everybody knows about Demarkcus Bowman, the five-star running back from Lakeland, Florida, expected to enroll at Clemson this summer. But don’t forget about Kobe Pryor, the other talented running back the Tigers signed as part of their 2020 recruiting class.

Swinney compares Bowman to former Clemson great C.J. Spiller, who ran alongside James Davis from 2006-2008 as part of the duo that was dubbed “Thunder and Lightning,” with Spiller the Lightning and Davis the Thunder.

More than a decade later, Swinney believes Clemson will have a new Thunder and Lightning tandem in Bowman, the Lightning, and Pryor, the Thunder.
