When he thinks back to the influences he had on the Clemson-Georgia rivalry during the Eleven Year War from 1977-’87, former Clemson kicker David Treadwell does not think about his 46-yard field goal as time expired to beat the Bulldogs in 1986 or the 21-yard kick he made with two seconds to play in 1987 […]
Few defense backs in Clemson’s rich history have made the kind of impact on the program the way Terry Kinard did in his Clemson career. It has been argued that he is perhaps the greatest defensive player the Tigers have ever had. It’s hard to go against that argument. The Sumter, S.C., native was a […]
Clemson has had a lot of great cornerbacks through the years like Steve Ryan, Rod McSwain, Delton Hall, Dexter Davis, Dexter McCleon, Antwan Edwards, Justin Miller, Tye Hill, Mackensie Alexander and Cordrea Tankersley to name a few, but perhaps the best of the bunch was Donnell Woolford. Woolford is the only Clemson cornerback to be […]
Tim Bourret, Clemson’s longtime Sports Information Director, said he has only seen two true freshmen go from second or third team on the opening day of fall camp to starter by the end of the week.

Kyle Young ranks among the top student-athletes in Clemson history. He is the only three-time first-team Academic All-American in any sport in the Clemson record books. He is also one of just two ACC football players and one of just two offensive linemen in college football history to be a three-time first-team selection. Young, who […]
When you think of offensive linemen at Clemson, the first name that pops in your head is, without a doubt, Bostic. The Bostic Brothers of the mid-to-late 1970s are still considered two of the greatest brother combos in ACC history. Joe, the older brother, played at Clemson from 1975-’78 where he became a two-time All-American […]
Bill D’Andrea, a former coach and administrator at Clemson, says Stacy Long was perhaps the best offensive tackle he saw in his 33 years at Clemson. Well, D’Andrea was right. In fact, Long is arguably the best offensive tackle to ever where Clemson Orange and White. The 6-foot-2, 280-pound tackle is the only Clemson offensive […]
When he was on a local radio show, former Clemson tight end Dwayne Allen made a special request on air.
