Gideon Davidson News, Rumors, Updates - Clemson Tigers | FOX Sports

Not much running room vs. Eagles Davidson logged 14 rushes for 62 yards and hauled in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 22-7 victory over Georgia Southern.

Impact Davidson concerningly couldn't find much space on the ground like the rest of Clemson's ball-carriers. The tailback has been limited by a rough Tigers' offense through two weeks, and while he managed to post a better stat-line than he did in Week 1 against LSU, Davidson doesn't bring much to the table right now for fantasy managers.

Stymied in blowout loss Davidson logged seven rushes for 20 yards during Saturday's 51-10 loss to LSU.

Impact Davidson couldn't get anything going on the ground as Clemson suffered a humiliating 41-point loss to LSU. The tailback was limited to just seven carries, which was the most on the team but not nearly enough to put together a productive stat-line against an LSU team that simply dominated from wire-to-wire. He'll look to bounce back in Week 2 against Georgia Southern.

Slated for featured role with Tigers Davidson is slated for a featured role with Clemson as their top tailback this fall, per Paul Strelow of On3.

Impact Davidson was long expected to be Clemson's top back this season, and that looks to still be the case as we've entered Week 1 prep for the massive opener at LSU. Last fall with the Tigers, Davidson notched 260 rushing yards on 60 carries and 93 receiving yards on 11 catches.

Begins fall camp as lead back Davidson will operate as Clemson's lead back as fall camp begins, Chapel Fowler of The Columbia State reports.

Impact Davidson received high praise from head coach Dabo Swinney, who noted, "It starts with Gideon. He's done a great job." The running back primarily served as the backup to Adam Randall last season, but with Randall's departure to the NFL, the backfield is wide open. Swinney also praised the room's overall depth, meaning Davidson will still need a strong fall camp to lock down the starting job. Last season, he recorded 260 rushing yards on 60 attempts.

Gets involved in narrow loss Davidson posted 12 rushes for 51 yards and gathered in all four targets for 44 yards during Saturday's 46-45 loss versus Duke.

Impact Davidson saw a career high 12 carries in the loss to Duke. The true freshman tailback's four receptions were also a career best. What's encouraging about this performance is that it came when top Tigers' running back Adam Randall still had a highly productive day himself. There may be room for more than one fantasy-relevant ball-carrier for Clemson after all.

Losing ground in position battle Davidson is expected to serve as the Clemson's No. 3 running back, per Larry Williams of On3.com.

Impact Davidson had previously been gaining some buzz in training camp but had now fallen to third on the depth chart. David Eziomume is now expected to serve as the team's No. 2 back while Adam Randall will serve as the top back.

Repping with backup QB in practice Davidson took handoffs from backup QB Chris Vizzina during practice Wednesday, Jon Blau of The Charleston Post and Courier reports.

Impact Davidson is viewed as a freshman with plenty of promise and one who could carve out a regular role this fall, but he may not have earned his way up the pecking order quite yet. Adam Randall and Keith Adams both took handoffs from starter Cade Klubnik, which could indicate the two currently sit ahead of Davidson in the pecking order. Even if that's the case, Davidson still has some time left in camp to showcase his skills and move more into the forefront as Week 1 approaches.
