Clemson Football: Should Tavien Feaster be No. 2 RB?
Clemson football running back Tavien Feaster looked impressive against S.C. State on Saturday. Should he be the No. 2 running back on the depth chart?
Freshman running back Tavien Feaster got his first carries as a Clemson football player against S.C. State on Saturday.
He looked extremely impressive and finished the day with 12 attempts for 83 yards and a touchdown playing behind the second and third string offensive linemen.
The Clemson football depth chart has been released for the Georgia Tech game and Feaster is now listed as a co-backup with Adam Choice, Tyshon Dye, and C.J. Fuller.
That being said, should Tavien Feaster be Wayne Gallman’s backup?
Interestingly enough, after just one game, Tavien Feaster is the third-leading rusher on the team.
He is just one yard behind Deshaun Watson (84 yards on the season) from being second and is well ahead of the other running backs.

Choice, Dye, and Fuller have each carried the ball in all three games, but have considerably lower average yards per carry.
Adam Choice is only averaging 2.4 yards per carry while Tyshon Dye is averaging right around 6.0. Fuller is at 3.4, but what I’m going by is the eye test.
When Tavien Feaster is on the field, you know it. The defense has to aware of where he is at all times because it only takes one missed tackle for it to be a touchdown.
He was just a missed tackle away from breaking away several long runs on Saturday. I can only imagine what he’d be like with Clemson’s starting offensive line.
In addition to Feaster’s presence and athletic ability, he is also extremely explosive.
I love the way he runs the ball and how hard he goes north and south.
At the end of the day, I just think Tavien Feaster is a different caliber of player than Choice, Dye, or Fuller.
It’s not a knock on any of those three backs, it’s just the fact that he is a different type of athlete. I will be interested to see how he performs when we get into conference play, but keep your eye out for No. 28.
He very well may lock up the second string spot with a couple more solid performances and some more quality playing time, but no matter what happens, there’s no questioning this: Tavien Feaster is a special player.
What do you think, Tiger fans? Who do you want to see in that second-string role? Comment below!
