CLEMSON — So far, Clemson has offered just two running backs in the 2027 recruiting class.
However, there are some other options should the Tigers decide to expand the board at some point in the future.
One running back C.J. Spiller has been keeping an eye on is three-star Tai Phillips. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound back just transferred to Irmo from Cape Fear in Fayetteville, N.C.
Spiller stopped in to visit with Phillips in January, just before he made the move to the Midlands. It was a meeting that lasted more than 90 minutes.
“Coach Spiller came to my old school, Cape Fear, and we talked and had a good conversation,” Phillips told The Clemson Insider.
