Clemson has had it easy the last three years when it came to the running back position. There was Travis Etienne—the two-time ACC Player of the Year—and then everyone else.
But Etienne is now playing in Jacksonville with his former Clemson teammate Trevor Lawrence, which leaves a big void at running back in Tigertown.
During the spring, competition was intense, especially between senior Lyn-J Dixon and sophomore Kobe Pace. The two head into the summer as quite possibly one and two on the depth chart. Pace’s emergence in the spring led to Chez Mellusi entering his name into the transfer portal.
