Clemson running back Demarkcus Bowman has entered the NCAA transfer portal, 247Sports has learned. The Lakeland (FL) product and former five-star recruit was the No. 20 overall player and No. 3 running back from the class of 2020 according to the 247Sports Composite.

So far this season, Bowman carried nine times for 32 yards, appearing in both of Clemson's games.

“He looks great,” Clemson head coach Swinney said of Bowman in August. “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.”


Wow. This kid was supposed to be the successor to Etienne and Dixon.

ETA: At least they have another 5* RB committed for the c/o 2021 in Will Shipley.

He upset that he isn’t getting #1 reps right away? Even while Etienne is there?

Article didn't say what the reason was although I just came across this:

Level 1:
Have heard, per a source, that Clemson has already canceled Demarkcus Bowman's financial aid upon entering the portal. So I wouldn't expect this to be a situation he enters the portal, explores his options and then returns to Clemson.

Getting out early because the fans will definitely be calling for Shipley.

Maybe he's just homesick? Maybe he hates his position coaches?

You never know, it might not be the carries.

I like it to be honest. Same with his rule about no visits for committed kids.

Sounds like he was 6th on the depth chart behind walk-ons because of the limited practice reps (had trouble with the play calls and protection calls).

He came from a HS that ran slow tempo, QB runs to the sideline for the play, huddle up, etc.

He would have been fine in time I'm sure. He's an elite athlete.

I feel like these situations rarely turn out well for the player transferring though, even if Uber talented.

Like anyone believes Clemson isn't contacting kids who have already committed elsewhere trying to get them to come to campus? Dabo is a hypocrite to the Nth degree with that lame arse rule.

Will be a nice #1 RB spot open for Mike Leach next year. Come on down Bowman.

He's basically going to be a true freshman again.
