"Will Shipley Declares for NFL Draft, Clarifying Clemson's Running Back Future"
Clemson's running back Will Shipley has declared for the NFL Draft, leaving Phil Mafah as the likely lead back for the upcoming season. With Shipley's departure and Domonique Thomas entering the transfer portal, Clemson's running back depth will be tested. Jay Haynes and Jarvis Green, both redshirted last season, along with early enrollee David Eziomume, will have the opportunity to compete for more playing time during spring practice. Mafah's impressive performance in the bowl game against Kentucky, where he set a Clemson bowl record with four rushing touchdowns, highlights his potential as the new primary back.
