Two backs signed over the last ten years rank inside of the top six on Clemson's all-time rushing (yardage) list - Travis Etienne and Wayne Gallman. Both were issued high three stars (5.7 rating) by Rivals.com out of high school. Ironically, three of the top six rushers in Clemson history received 5.7 markers out of high school, as the Tigers' No. 2 all-time leading rusher - Raymond Priester - also received a 5.7 billing from The National Recruiting Advisor in 1994.
