Pair of Clemson skill players transferring

A pair of offensive playmakers are transferring from Clemson.

Running back C.J. Fuller and tight end Shadell Bell are planning to leave the program prior to the 2018 season, Tigers coach Dabo Swinney announced Wednesday.

Fuller entered the 2017 season as Clemson’s starting running back before being passed by Tavien Feaster and Travis Etienne on the depth chart early in the year.

He rushed for 217 yards and three touchdowns this past season while playing in all 14 games with three starts.

Fuller finishes his career at Clemson with 599 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

Bell, a redshirt sophomore, played in nine games in 2017 and had one catch for eight yards in 54 snaps.
