CLEMSON - With Will Shipley off to the NFL, senior running back Phil Mafah takes over as the lead back, but there are plenty of other promising running backs for the Tigers, giving them depth at the position.
Mafah had a solid 2023 season, with his breakout game against Notre Dame, which saw him rush for 186 yards and average 5.2 yards per attempt. He also had a strong game in the Gator Bowl against Kentucky, with 6.5 yards per attempt and a career-high four rushing touchdowns. So far this spring, he is picking up where he left off, breaking off a long run on Wednesday.
