Clemson RB Travis Etienne announces he'll return for senior season
One of college football’s best running backs will be returning for the 2020 season.
In what was a bit of shocking news on Friday, Clemson running back Travis Etienne announced that he will return for his senior season with the Tigers. The news comes a few days after Clemson fell one win short of claiming a second-straight national championship.
Etienne released a statement on Twitter to announce his return. He said that it’s been a dream to play in the NFL, but that he’s not done dreaming at Clemson just yet. With a return to school, Etienne will earn his degree from Clemson and will be one of the preseason front-runners to win the Heisman Trophy.
