With Travis Etienne returning for the 2020 football season, Clemson’s running back room got a lot stronger than most were expecting.
Etienne, the ACC’s two-time Player of the Year, brings back his 4,038 career yards and 60-plus touchdowns, as well as two years of experience as a starter and playing in 43 games. He is the most experienced running back Clemson has had since the days of James Davis, C.J. Spiller and Andre Ellington.
Even more surprising than the return of Etienne is the return of his backup, Lyn-J Dixon, who was in line to become the starter if Etienne decided to turn professional.
