Mickey Plyler on Etienne: Etienne is a special talent. He played in a wing-t offense like Wayne Gallman and runs a little like Gallman. He has great vision like James Davis, but with more top end speed. He rushed for over 5,000 yards and 78 touchdowns the last two seasons. Clemson wasn't recruiting him until Alabama turned the Tigers on to him and Clemson fell in love with him. He is a former A&M commit, but Clemson went into Louisiana and beat LSU on the best back in the state. Depth is an issue at running back so Etienne may get a long look in the fall.
