Spiller’s No. 28 going in closet, not coming out again unless…
C.J. Spiller was at track meet in Seneca when he first learned former Clemson running back Tavien Feaster put his name into the transfer portal and announced he was going to transfer out of Clemson.
It was not Feaster that told the Tigers’ greatest running back to date he was leaving, instead it was one of his representatives through a text message. Spiller, whose No. 28 was retired following his All-American career at Clemson, allowed Feaster to wear his jersey when the former 5-star from Spartanburg, South Carolina announced he was going to sign with Clemson in 2016.
But Spiller, who played eight years in the NFL, had no ill will towards Feaster’s decision.
