Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is pleased with what he saw from his football team in fall camp, especially from his young players.
“There is just only so much you can do,” he said. “I wish I could say, ‘Boom! They’re a junior.’ But it just doesn’t work that way.”
Swinney used running back Travis Etienne as a perfect example of how a player develops from his freshman year to his junior. The Jennings, Louisiana native rushed for 766 yards and scored 13 touchdowns in 2017 but broke out to set three school records and tie one ACC record for the Tigers last year.
