Freshmen running backs continue to garner praise

Tony Elliott has been pleased with what he’s seen from freshmen running backs Chez Mellusi and Michel Dukes through the first week of fall camp heading into the team’s first scrimmage Saturday.

Mellusi and Dukes, both of whom enrolled this summer, are doing a good job of competing and picking up the offense according to Clemson’s co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach.

“I’ve been very impressed,” Elliott said following Friday’s practice. “They’re both very competitive. The way the recruiting process is, you don’t get to go to as many practices as you want, you only get to go see them play one time or two times.
