When it comes to Clemson’s running back room, a lot of the offseason attention was centered around true freshman Gideon Davidson, who was one of the nation’s top-ranked running backs in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
Gideon Davidson – the No. 3 running back and No. 59 overall prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, per ESPN – generated a lot of buzz and drew plenty of praise from coaches and teammates alike over the offseason after enrolling at Clemson in January.
Of all the true freshmen on the Clemson football team, the expectations might’ve been the highest for Davidson, at least from the fan base.
