  Clemson co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach Tony Elliott has been around a number of impressive backs during his time with the Tigers. But he has never had a back who is as natural at catching the ball out of the backfield as freshman Michel Dukes. "I think Mikey's got the most natural ball skills of any guy that I've had, including (Andre) Ellington," Elliott said following Friday's practice. "It's just easy for him. You can see it."

Dukes and fellow freshman Chez Mellusi arrived on campus this summer, and the two are already turning heads. They haven't different playing styles, but both have made plays throughout fall camp. "They compliment each other very, very well. I think we all know Chez is the bigger guy. He's got really, really good straight line speed. He doesn't mess around. He's a one-cut guy, understands that no cut is the best cut," Elliott said. "Where Mikey is an elusive guy that catches the ball extremely well. Probably has the best ball skills of anybody I've ever had here at Clemson. So I think they're going to compliment each other that way." - The State
