Former Clemson running back opens up about his decision to transfer

A former Clemson football player opened up to one of his former Tiger teammates about his decision to transfer this past spring.

Running back Chez Mellusi, who is in his first season at Wisconsin after playing the last two years for the Tigers, talked to Clemson sixth-year senior running back Darien Rencher about his transfer decision during an interview on The Players Club ’21, a college football show hosted by Rencher.

“It was definitely a really hard decision,” Mellusi said. “I thought that being at Clemson did a lot of good and I learned a lot. But it was one of those things where I felt like as soon as I came in as a freshman, with Travis (Etienne) there, I kind of knew what I was getting myself into.
