CLEMSON — Of all the true freshmen on the Clemson football team, the expectations might be highest for Gideon Davidson.
With very little production returning at the running back position, and Davidson being one of the highest-rated backs in the last recruiting class, many are expecting an immediate impact from the true freshman.
With Davidson choosing to wear No. 9, and his ceiling being so high, some are already attempting to compare him to former Clemson great Travis Etienne, who also wore No. 9 during his record-setting career.
“He doesn’t get caught up in all that stuff,” running backs coach CJ Spiller said during Clemson’s annual media outing.
