Former title-winning Clemson RB C.J. Fuller dies

Former Clemson running back C.J. Fuller has died, the school announced Wednesday. He was 22 years old.

"Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathies are with C.J.'s family," head coach Dabo Swinney said. "I've known C.J. a long time and watched him grow up through the Easley rec leagues all the way through Easley High School.

"I'm proud of what he accomplished as a Clemson Tiger, most of all, his accomplishment of being a Clemson graduate. Our deepest condolences and the thoughts of our program are with his family this evening. May he rest in peace."

Full details of Fuller's death have yet to be released.

The running back played in 43 games for the Tigers from 2015-17 and was part of the national title-winning team from the 2016 season. Fuller's 20-yard kickoff return helped set up Clemson's game-winning drive to beat Alabama.
