Dabo Swinney thinks running back Travis Etienne decided to return to Clemson for his senior season because the opportunities at Clemson were a bigger pull than what his opportunity in the NFL is right now.
Etienne announced his decision to return to Clemson on Friday, the last day draft eligible underclassmen could declare themselves eligible for the 2020 NFL Draft.
“I was really pumped when he called, and I could hear the excitement in his voice to tell me he was coming back,” Swinney said Friday via Clemson Football’s Official Twitter Page.
Etienne isn’t the only draft eligible underclassmen who decided to return for his senior year at Clemson.
