Waiting for an opportunity hasn’t always been easy for Clemson running back Gideon Davidson, but he’s dealt with worse.
Coming into the season, there were high expectations for the freshman, who was one of the top-rated backs in the last recruiting class. With the emergence of Adam Randall, as well as some of the struggles the Tigers have had running the ball, the opportunities were limited during the team’s first seven games.
In last weekend’s loss to Duke, Davidson finally got the chance to show what he can do, and the freshman did not disappoint, rushing for 51 yards on 12 carries, with both of those being career highs.
