Clemson RB enters transfer portal


by -

Clemson's crowded backfield this spring is seeing a departure.

Junior running back Chez Mellusi has entered the NCAA transfer portal, TigerNet has confirmed.

Mellusi entered 2021 with 427 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 71 carries and five catches for 38 yards and a receiving touchdown in 169 career snaps over 21 games as a Tiger.

The Tigers came through the spring as loaded at running back as ever with seven scholarship players, including Mellusi.

Mellusi signed as a 4-star prospect out of Naples, Florida, rated as high as the No. 7 running back in his class and No. 137 overall (ESPN).

247Sports first reported the news.
