Former Clemson greats Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins will be inducted into the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame this fall.
The legendary quarterback-receiver duo is part of a Hall of Fame class that is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Watkins was brought in on a call to tell Boyd the news before head coach Dabo Swinney surprised Watkins by sharing that he’ll be inducted as well.
After their well-deserved Hall of Fame honor was announced Thursday, there were plenty of reactions on social media. Check out some of what they’re saying below:

Appreciative of @BlockCClub letting Coach Swinney orchestrate these two surprise reveals on Wednesday.
Looking forward to the full Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame class being announced in the near future in recognition of excellence across all of Clemson's various sport programs. https://t.co/HmBHmR7s1u

I'm old enough to remember Boyd. I really liked watching him play when I was little. I don't think he gets enough credit of what he did laying the foundation for #Clemson https://t.co/ezHWC7OVOv

These boys here laid the foundation. There ain’t no Deshaun Watson or Trevor Lawrence without Tajh Boyd, and there ain’t no Mike Williams, Tee Higgins, Hunter Renfrow, Justyn Ross and etc without Sammy Watkins. LEGENDS! https://t.co/6X3WjwpIwo

Not only do they deserve this honor from their play on the field, but they were also amazing teammates.
Sammy was the first player I met and helped me during my first workout – I must’ve looked lost 😂
Tajh treated everyone like they were 5stars and I will never forget that. https://t.co/QXxsnaTtIh
