Gallman left Clemson after three seasons as one of the school's most decorated and productive running backs, finishing his career third in program history in rushing touchdowns (34) and fifth in rushing yards (3,429). He also broke Raymond Priester's single-season school record for rushing yards in 2015, and Priester's career record for 100-yard rushing games in 2016 with 17. Clemson was 17-0 in those contests.

NATIONAL CHAMPION

Playing alongside first-round picks Deshaun Watson (12th overall) and Mike Williams (seventh), Gallman helped the Tigers to a 38-5 record over the last three seasons. Clemson made back-to-back trips to the CFP National Championship Game, winning the rematch against Alabama this past January.
