Ettienne was rated higher than Clyde. Miles refused to let us offer until Akers told us no.

He signed with Clemson without ever visiting for a football game.

He and his family visited the campus shortly after the national championship, though.

To be fair, no one could have known what Travis would turn into.


I watched and called a few games on the radio when Travis was in high school. He is doing EXACTLY the same thing he did at Jennings High as he is doing at Clemson. That is what is so incredible.

Travis was three star his junior year. He committed to Texas A&M, then decommitted.

He became a four star during his senior year, and I'm not sure if he ever got that fifth star.

But I'm telling you, he was punching holes in Alabama's defense just like he did to high school teams. If he doesn't get injured, he will probably do the same thing in the NFL.

How come he was almost never mentioned for the Heisman? It seems he was underrated all season long. Next year, though, he'll be the talk of the town.

He and Trevor Lawrence will both be in discussion for the award next year and but for the last two playoff games, ETN would Have had better preseason odds to win it. One or both will be in NYC next year.

He reminds me a lot of Alvin Kamara at Tennessee.
