Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney likes what he has seen from the Tigers’ pair of true freshmen running backs, Demarkcus Bowman and Kobe Pace, in practice leading up to the 2020 season.
Both Bowman, a former five-star recruit from Lakeland, Fla., and Pace, a former four-star prospect from Cedartown, Ga., enrolled at Clemson this summer ahead of fall camp.
“They’ve been very impressive,” Swinney said following the Tigers’ practice Thursday.
Bowman and Pace each ran into the proverbial “freshman wall” in fall camp while trying to keep up with all the offensive install, according to Swinney, though they are starting to break through the wall as Clemson’s season opener against Wake Forest on Sept.
