On more than one occasion, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has compared freshman running back Demarkcus Bowman to Tigers legend C.J. Spiller, citing their similar track speed, explosiveness and playmaking ability.
Spiller – who accounted for 7,588 all-purpose yards and 51 total touchdowns during his college career from 2006-09, earning unanimous All-American and ACC Player of the Year honors in 2009 – spoke about Bowman earlier this week at the Sharone Wright Benefit Golf Tournament at the Walker Course in Clemson.
Spiller has only been able to watch Bowman on film so far but has high expectations for his fellow Sunshine State native.
