A new face will take the field for the first time this weekend when the Clemson football team takes on the Boston College Eagles in Death Valley.
Freshman RB Phil Mafah was expected to redshirt this season, but that will not be the case now following the departure of Lyn-J Dixon and the injury to fellow freshman star Will Shipley, who know will be out for at least a month dealing with a leg injury.
The result leaves Clemson with just four available running backs on its roster: Kobe Pace, Phil Mafah, Michel Dukes and Darien Rencher.
