Swinney Confirms Who Is Clemson’s RB1 Right Now
If Clemson started the season today, who would take the field first at the running back spot?
Head coach Dabo Swinney was asked that question during his appearance on the Gramlich & Mac Lain podcast with Clemson alums Kelly Gramlich and Eric Mac Lain.
Swinney confirmed that senior Adam Randall would be Clemson’s RB1 if the Tigers played today.
“Yeah, today he is,” Swinney said. “Jay Haynes is out right now. He’s still progressing back. We’ll get him back sooner than later. But Adam, this guy, he knows everything. He understands everything. So, just mentally, he’s running out there first.”
