Swinney on One Position Group with ‘A Lot to Prove’

Heading into the 2025 season, one big question about the Clemson football team that people presumably have – at least, those outside the program – is the running back position.

Specifically, what will the running back room look like this season, with the departure of workhorse Phil Mafah and the ACL injury to top backup Jay Haynes in last year’s ACC Championship Game?

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney discussed that topic during an interview on ACC Network’s ACC PM show this week.

Swinney touched on the personnel that the Tigers have at running back, including redshirt freshman David Eziomume, true freshman Gideon Davidson, redshirt sophomore Jarvis Green, redshirt junior Keith Adams Jr.
