Clemson walk-on RB with toughness and special-teams grit
Ty Thomason is best known at Clemson as an original walk-on who earned snaps through reliability, effort, and toughness rather than flash. In 2017-18, he logged 53 rushing yards on eight carries across nine career games, showing he could handle limited opportunities and contribute when called on. That profile matters for teams that value practice intensity, physicality, and low-maintenance depth at running back; the downside is that his résumé does not show high-volume production or proven game-breaking speed, so he fits best as a role player and culture add rather than a featured runner.
