Congrats to Chase Brice

Congrats to former Clemson quarterback and Tiger fan favorite Chace Brice.

Brice, who now plays for the BC Lions of the CFL, threw his first touchdown pass as a pro last week.

Brice evaded pressure in the backfield and found his running back over the middle of the field for a 24-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Lions’ Sept. 13 matchup against the Toronto Argonauts and another former Clemson quarterback, Chad Kelly.

You can check out Brice’s first professional TD below:

After playing for Clemson from 2017-19 and graduating in May 2020, Brice transferred to Duke, where he threw for 2,170 yards while passing for 10 touchdowns in 11 starts during the 2020 season. The Georgia native then transferred to App State before the 2021 season and spent his final two years of eligibility playing for the Mountaineers.

In 2022, Brice completed 62.9 percent of his passes for 2,921 yards and 27 touchdowns with six interceptions. He set the single-season school passing record in 2021 with 3,337 yards and helped the Mountaineers upset No. 6 Texas A&M early in the 2022 season. He was named Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year in 2021 as well as third-team All-Sun Belt.

Brice concluded his college career having completed 60 percent of his passes for 9,451 yards and 73 touchdowns with 36 interceptions.

Brice threw for 1,023 yards with nine touchdowns and four interceptions in 25 games at Clemson. Of course, he was an unsung hero of Clemson’s 2018 national championship campaign, entering in relief in a 27-23 come-from-behind victory against Syracuse to preserve what would become Clemson’s perfect 15-0 campaign.
