The hype for Clemson's next potential star in the backfield continues to build.
True freshman running back Gideon Davidson was named to the On3 Preseason True Freshman All-American Team on Tuesday, a major national honor that signals he's ready to make an immediate impact for the Tigers this fall.
Davidson, the lone running back selected to the prestigious first team, was recognized for both his staggering high school production and his potential to contribute from day one for the national title contenders.
"The Lynchburg (Va.) Liberty Christian Academy product enters a favorable situation in Clemson’s backfield and could be in line for carries early," the On3 analysis noted.
