All-time Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year Travis Etienne is returning to Clemson for his senior season.
The 5-foot-10, 210-pound junior running back from Jennings, Louisiana, announced his decision on social media Friday.
Etienne tweeted his announcement along with a Bible verse, Matthew 16:26: “What will it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?”
Etienne said his coaches, teammates and fans have helped him become a stronger man and football player these past three years.
“God has blessed me so much during my time here with the three playoff appearances, three ACC titles, two national championship berths and a national title,” he said. “But my most memorable moments have been all the work I’ve put in with my brothers on the team and enjoying every minute of the journey.
“I thank God for leading me here and lighting the steps on my path to where I am today and where my faith in Him will carry me next.”
While he’s dreamed of playing in the NFL, he said, “I’m not done dreaming here at Clemson either” before saying he would be back.
“I look forward to earning my degree from this great university and continuing to fight with my brothers on the team to make you proud during the 2020 season,” Etienne said.
Etienne was projected as a second-round selection if he chose to turn pro.
He gained 1,614 yards and 19 touchdowns this season.
Etienne holds the ACC career mark with 56 rushing TDs.
