The Editor Interaction Analyser utility shows a nexus of editing around Clemson Tigers football and associated Clemson season (yyyy) articles.

Specifically, SportEdit23 added a duplicate and malformed "CJ Spiller" instance to an alumni section, then immediately removed/reverted on 09:46, 4 October 2016.

SportsFacts1 then edited the identical article section in the identical manner, first removing and then re-adding CJ Spiller to the same section, on 07:20, 6 October 2016. SportsFacts1 has only 3 edits, ever.

SportsEdits1's very first post is to the related Talk:2015 Clemson Tigers football team in which they correctly format two indented paragraphs and four citations, not the expected behavior of a first-time editor. They later edit (revert) 50+ Clemson football articles.

So we have similarly named accounts, all of which are editing Clemson football content, and with the main SportEdit23 and SportsEdits1 accounts showing clear timeline transitions between editing Clemson articles particularly within 28 December 2016 to 3 January 2017.
