Clemson freshman running back Adam Choice, the team’s leading rusher, suffered a torn ACL in Saturday’s game against Boston College and will miss the rest of the season, coach Dabo Swinney said Monday. Choice is expected to have surgery within a few weeks and should be ready to play at the start of the 2015 season.

He ends his season with 218 rushing yards.

The 21st-ranked Tigers (5-2, 4-1 ACC) will also be without tight end Jordan Leggett for several weeks after he suffered a knee injury in Saturday’s game.

On the positive side, running back Dyshon Dye, who has not played this season after tearing his Achilles tendon last February, is expected to practice this week and could play Saturday. Dye redshirted the 2013 season because of a back injury.
