Signee analysis: David Eziomume - 4-star RB - Kennesaw, Georgia

Committed since: 3/1/23.

Listed size: 6-1 205

Mid-year enrollee

Notable: Eziomume is rated as high as a Top 250 prospect overall (Rivals; 246) with a four-star rating as an all-purpose back. He earned state player of the week honors for 325 rushing yards and a four-touchdown performance in September. Eziomume reported offers in the recruiting process from South Carolina, Southern Cal, Wisconsin, Florida State, Miami and Auburn among more FBS programs.

Quotable: “Honestly, I think people just have a small idea who I am. People just think I'm another running back…I'm not just a running back. You see, I can go to slot, I'm on all sides of the ball. It's just like many factors I can bring to the table that's going to benefit Clemson…I have a 10.84 in the 100, but I'm really trying to cut that time down at 10.6 at one of these individual meets coming up soon. And my strength as well. Like Sammy Brown, very strong. My bench press is about, the max is at 315. My power clean is 305, and my squat is 420. So, it's like those big numbers. And these are all early maxes, so I know I'm not peaking out. I just feel like I bring different things to the table.” - Eziomume said this summer of what he brings to the table.
