By Hale McGranahan. Divine Deablo, one of the top 2016 wide receivers with an offer from Clemson, already has a favorite.

By Ed McGranahan. Pessimists who buy into the idiom that bad news comes in threes wonder what’s next for the Clemson football team. After a relatively quiet preseason, on consecutive days this week Clemson lost running back Zac Brooks to injury and offensive tackle Shaq Anthony to transfer.

By Hale McGranahan. The story of the Clemson running backs took another twist on Wednesday afternoon, leaving more questions for both the short and long-term.

By Will Vandervort. Hershel Walker recently said Todd Gurley is a better running back than he was at the University of Georgia. Those are strong words coming from the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner, but maybe there is something to it. Gurley after all has found the Clemson end zone two more times than Walker ever […]
By Will Vandervort. Usually football players don’t like football practice. But Monday’s first of two practices at Jervey Meadows was a little bit different for Clemson wide receiver Charone Peake. For the first time since last September, Peake was wearing an orange jersey during football practice instead of a yellow or green one. For those […]
PIEDMONT – Kelly Bryant is still in the developmental stages on the field as a quarterback. Away from it, he’s acts and sounds like a seasoned veteran.
