CLEMSON - With Clemson’s history of deep running back rooms, it can be difficult for a third-string back to get a lot of action. But this past Saturday against Wake Forest, that is exactly what happened for redshirt sophomore Keith Adams Jr.
Adams Jr. had a career-high in rush attempts (six), rushing yards (62) and his first career touchdown. He now has at least one rush attempt in every game except Clemson’s 29-13 win against Florida State.
“Whenever my name’s called, I’m always ready. That’s what (running backs coach) Coach (Spiller) always tells us, just always be ready because you’re always one ankle away from having to play from maybe one snap to maybe 20, 30 snaps.
