Clemson has built another solid backfield in the 2021 class, gaining commitments from the first two running backs who received Clemson offers. With Phil Mafah and Will Shipley on board, the Tigers have assembled a combination of power and speed to add to an already loaded backfield.
Mafah committed to Clemson in August, the same day the Tigers opened the 2019 season against Georgia Tech. The 4-star power back from Grayson (GA) Loganville follows in the footsteps of another great Clemson back, Wayne Gallman, who came to Clemson from Grayson HS and left as a national champion and record holder.
