CLEMSON – Phil Mafah is now the main man at Clemson, and he will carry the load for the Tigers’ running back room this season. He’s happy about that. And while Mafah will be a little more vocal this season, don’t expect him to become really loud.

He will let his play do the talking.

“I try to be the best example for my teammates to follow,” Mafah said. “I feel like that’s one of the reasons why they respect me.”

Mafah enters 2024 with 345 rushing attempts for 1,772 yards and 20 touchdowns, as well as 37 receptions for 206 yards in 984 career snaps over 36 games (seven starts).
