CLEMSON – The early buzz in spring camp has centered on new offensive coordinator Garrett Riley, the Tigers’ injuries at wide receiver, and the coaches trying to build depth on the offensive line.
However, not a lot has been said about two major strengths of the offense: running back and tight end.
Clemson returns two valuable weapons in the backfield in Will Shipley and Phil Mafah. Mafah has been impressive early in camp – he looks like he’s added muscle – and Shipley looks like a man on a mission to get better.
