If there is anyone who knew what Travis Etienne was going through last week, it was former Clemson running back C.J. Spiller.
Like Etienne, Spiller had to make a tough decision following his junior season at Clemson, deciding on whether to go play in the NFL or take a chance on himself and come back to school, get his degree and then turn professional.
Also, like Spiller, Etienne decided to wait another year before beginning real life and decided to come back to Clemson for one more season. The two-time ACC Player of the Year, who has broken nearly all of Spiller’s records at Clemson, made his announcement last Friday.
