Clemson RB Demarkcus Bowman Enters Transfer Portal
The overcrowded running back room is reportedly about to get a little less crowded as freshman running back Demarkcus Bowman has entered the transfer portal, Bowman announced on social media.
The Lakeland, Fla., prospect was one of the best running backs in the entire 2020 recruiting class, and through the first two games of the season had carried the ball nine times for 32 yards. He informed the coaching staff of his plans during the past week.
The 2019 first team SI All-American chose Clemson over Florida, Florida State, and Georgia, among others, but Florida was thought to be the biggest competitor.
“He looks great,” Dabo Swinney said early on in fall camp. “Just the first day out here, but he’s in great shape. He’s thicker than I thought he might be at this point. The weight room has been good for him. He put in a lot of work before he got here. He spent a lot of time on the track on his own, too. He’s as advertised. He is a fast, fast dude, and I can’t wait to see him once we get the pads on and see how he picks things up.”
The loss of Bowman is certainly a blow, as no team ever wants to lose a back that talented, However, the Tigers still have a loaded stable of running backs led by senior Travis Etienne. The Tigers have a bevy of other options including Lyn-J Dixon, Darien Rencher, Mikey Dukes, Chez Mellusi, and Kobe Pace.
