The first time he saw five-star running back Demarkcus Bowman on film, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney turned to offensive coordinator/running backs coach Tony Elliott and said, “That’s Spiller.”
Swinney did not think he would ever see a player like C.J. Spiller in high school again. But after watching Bowman, Swinney believes the Tigers are getting a running back that is very comparable to the former Clemson great.
Bowman (5-10, 190) is expected to enroll at Clemson this summer after signing with the school in December.
“He’s special. He’s another version of Spiller,” Swinney said this week.
