Clemson’s power back with spring-game buzz
Paul Macko is the kind of Clemson running back who earns attention for more than box-score stats: ESPN lists him with 15 carries for 56 yards in his Clemson profile, while 247Sports has described him as the “spring-game legend” and even flagged him as the strongest player on the team in a power index note. The takeaway is a physical, downhill runner who brings energy and toughness, making him an intriguing fit for a team that values short-yardage punch and tone-setting backfield presence.[7][3]
