As it turns out Da’Quan Bowers will have some familiar Clemson company on his early entry journey into the NFL.
In a statement released by the school, running back Jamie Harper announced Sunday that he won’t return for his senior season and will instead dive headfirst into the April draft pool.
“I want to thank all the coaches at Clemson,” said Harper in a statement. “That includes Coach (Dabo) Swinney, Coach (Andre) Powell, my position coach, and Coach (Joey) Batson and his strength staff. They all helped prepare me for the next level.
“I also want to thank my family who has been very supportive throughout this process.
“I especially want to thank my teammates who have helped me become a better player over the last three years. They have always been supportive. I wish the guys who will be returning next year the best.”
Not only did Harper’s 760 yards and seven rushing touchdowns lead the Tigers, but he was also second in receptions (37) and fourth in receiving yards (320).
