Running back C.J. Fuller, a member of Clemson's NCAA championship football team in the 2016 season, has died.
Gill Payne, athletic director at Easley High School, where Fuller had starred, confirmed the death.
Fuller, 22, played at Clemson from 2014 to 2017, redshirting in 2014 before accumulating 599 yards rushing on 147 carries with five touchdowns over the next three seasons. He also had 290 yards on 17 career kickoff returns.
Fuller announced in February that he was transferring to another school for his final season of eligibility.
Fuller was arrested, along with former Clemson teammate Jadar Johnson and former high school teammate Quaven Ferguson on March 28 and charged with armed robbery and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime by Clemson Police.
