CLEMSON, S.C. - The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that Clemson running back Phil Mafah (Running Back of the Week) and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. (Linebacker of the Week) each earned ACC Player of the Week honors for their performances in Clemson's 31-23 defeat of No. 12 Notre Dame on Saturday. The pair of selections represent Clemson's fifth and sixth honors of the season. In total, Clemson has earned 571 ACC weekly honors since 1968. Mafah earned his first career ACC Running Back of the Week award after a record-setting performance in the win against the Irish. Mafah recorded a career-high 186 rushing yards on a school-record-tying 36 carries and matched his career high with two rushing touchdowns. Mafah's 36 carries against the Irish tied the school record shared by Jim Shirley (36 against NC State in 1951), Ray Yauger (36 against Wake Forest in 1969) and Raymond Priester (36 against Maryland in 1997), and his 186 yards were the most by a Clemson player since Kobe Pace’s 191-yard rushing performance against Wake Forest in 2021. Trotter *** IF SWANSON TOO (UPDATE TOTALS ABOVE) Swanson's selection as ACC Special Teams Player of the Week is the first of his career. He becomes the first Clemson player to earn the honor since Will Spiers in October 2020. Against Notre Dame, Swanson placed a career-high five of his six punts inside the 20, and his lone punt that was not downed inside the 20 was a booming kick that resulted in a Notre Dame muff recovered by Clemson. He produced the most punts placed inside the 20 by a Clemson punter since Spiers in the National Championship Game to end the 2019 season (five vs. LSU). *** IF PUTNAM TOO (UPDATE) Putnam earned his first ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week award of the season and the third of his career. His selection this week joins accolades garnered following games against Louisiana Tech and Miami (Fla.) a season ago. On Saturday, Putnam graded out at 98 percent with six knockdowns according to Clemson's coaching staff. In addition to helping Mafah to his career day on the ground, Putnam's led an offensive line that helped Clemson limit Notre Dame to one sack despite starting its third different offensive line combination in as many weeks and its fifth different offensive line combination of the season. The veteran's play contributed to Clemson's 31 points, which more than doubled the per-game average surrendered by the Irish defense, which entered the game ranked 10th in the nation at 15.3 points per game.
