Freshman RB reminds Elliott of a Clemson legend

Clemson running backs coach and co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott can’t wait to start coaching Chez Mellusi, a 4-star running back out of Naples, Florida. Of course, Elliott will have to wait until fall camp considering Mellusi will not enroll at Clemson until the summer.

Mellusi reminds Elliott a lot of another running back he coached a few years back.

“He is very similar to Wayne Gallman when I watch Chez play,” he said.

Elliott says Mellusi (5-11, 190) is a bigger guy compared to Travis Etienne and Lyn-J Dixon. The coach says he runs downhill violently just like Gallman did.
