Wayne Gallman came down the pipeline from Grayson, Ga., like premium crude to be refined as a high-octane Clemson running back.
One of three former high school teammates on the Clemson roster, Gallman was a running back and linebacker at Grayson, and scouts liked him on both sides of the ball. “At either position, he flashes some big-play ability,” ESPN.com wrote in 2012, describing his running style. “At times he looks more explosive on defense.”
Gallman wasn’t buying the pitch for defense.
“I’ve always wanted to be a running back, man. I’m a running back,” he said.
