Atlantic Coast)
TB James Davis -- Davis has led the Tigers in rushing in each of the last three years and will need 837 yards to become the school's all-time leading ground gainer.
TB C.J. Spiller -- The "other half" of one of the top running back duos in the country, Spiller gives the Tigers a breakaway threat plus he is a good receiver out of the backfield.
QB Cullen Harper -- Harper was thought to be just a caretaker at quarterback last season but he became one of the most prolific passers in the league as a junior last season.
S Michael Hamlin -- The veteran of an experienced unit in the secondary, he had six takeaways (four interceptions, two fumble recoveries) last season.
TOP NEWCOMERS
DE Da'Quan Bowers -- Probably the top signee out of this year's recruiting class, Bowers is on campus and will compete to take over the spot vacated prematurely by Phillip Merling.
TE Dwayne Allen -- Allen isn't among the six signees taking part in spring drills but looks to have a shot at competing for time, if not a starting position, when he reports in the fall.
LB Brandon Maye -- The redshirt freshman has a good shot at assuming the starting spot in the fall.
WR Brandon Clear -- Another redshirt freshman, Clear can be an inviting target at 6-5 and looks to compete for playing time.
ROSTER REPORT
--LB Cortney Vincent is sitting out spring practice after being suspended for a violation of team rules, and his status for the fall is questionable. He faces a DUI charge from a December arrest. He started 12 of 13 games last season and had 68 tackles.
--S Darius Gaither, who played in two games last season, will transfer at the end of the academic year.
--WR Jacoby Ford (ankle) will be available for limited contact work over the final practice sessions, but CB Haydrian Lewis (knee) is still being held out of contact.

I just got back from interviewing at Clemson for grad assistantships in the Student Affairs program (it's a masters degree). I should be able to get in to the program and I am very excited to be a part of the Clemson community! One question...how can I get my user name changed on this website? I still like Florida, but I think it seems out of place since I'll be going
I know the pre-season is full of hype and a bunch of unkowns, and give that spring training hasn't happened yet, it's still way early. But given what we do know:
1. You guys were a decent team last year and should remain one this year.
2. The ACC is weak, and there's not a game on your shedule that if the line were set today you wouldn't be favo
Hey Clemson. Listen. I want to ask you to help Virginia Tech, Maryland, and Possibly FSU and Wake, to rally against West Virginia. Please. Go to WV Football message board, go to view all threads, and you'll see a thread that says, "HAHAHA Read this WV Bamaz." Something like that. We need your help. Please reply back to me ASAP. GO ACC.
