Who are Clemson’s next breakout stars?

Since the days of James Davis and C.J. Spiller Clemson has produced some electrifying offensive weapons.

Davis and Spiller were known as “Thunder & Lightning” at Clemson from 2006-’08. In 2006, the two combined to rush for 2,125 yards and 27 touchdowns.

Of course, Sammy Watkins and Deandre Hopkins became the breakout stars in the early years of Dabo Swinney’s head coaching career. The two wide receivers combined for 2,197 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2011 and 2,113 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2012.

In recent years, it has been Tee Higgins and Justyn Ross making big time plays, along with running back Travis Etienne.
