TODAY'S GAME NC STATE VS. CLEMSON

BY TIM BOURRET TIGERS 6-0 AGAIN Clemson improved to 6-0 with its 56-10 win over Boston College eight days ago. The 46-point win tied for the fifth-highest victory margin in an ACC road game in school history. It was Clemson’s first regular-season Friday win since 1952. The Tigers are 6-0 for the fourth time in the last six years. In the 78 years prior to Dabo Swinney becoming head coach of the Tigers, Clemson was 6-0 just five times (1940, 1948, 1981, 1987, 2000). Clemson’s best start to a season was 14-0 in 2015. NC State has a 4-1 record entering today’s game. This is the first time since 1988 that Clemson and NC State have entered the game having played at least five games and both posting a winning percentage of at least 80 percent. The Tigers and Wolfpack were both 5-1 entering that 1988 game in Raleigh. NC State won that game 10-3, ironically the same score by which the Wolfpack beat Notre Dame last Saturday. The six-game winning streak to start the season for Clemson is just one of the active winning streaks for the Tigers entering today’s game. Below are some others: • Clemson has won a school-record 19 straight home games, the nation’s longest active streak. The Tigers have not lost at home since Florida State in 2013. • The Tigers have won 42 consecutive games against teams that were not ranked in either the AP or coaches poll. The last time Clemson lost a game to an unranked team was at NC State in 2011. • Clemson has won eight straight games on opponents’ home fields, tied for the school record. Clemson’s last loss in that situation was in 2014 at Georgia Tech. • The Tigers have won 12 straight games against conference teams, tied for the longest active streak of its kind in the nation. That is also tied for the ninthlongest ACC winning streak in league history and the second longest in school history. Clemson won 20 games in a row against ACC teams from 1981-85. • Clemson has won 23 consecutive non-national championship games. The Tigers’ only loss over the last 24 games was to Alabama in the national championship game last season.

CLEMSON FACES 4-1 WOLFPACK NC State comes to Clemson off a team-building and season-building 10-3 win over Notre Dame last Saturday in Raleigh in heavy rain from hurricane Matthew.

TODAY’S HONOREES

HONORARY CAPTAINS

STAFF MEMBER-OF-THE-GAME

Clemson has two of its toughest running backs in history serving as honorary captains for today’s game. Both had their career-high rushing games against South Carolina in Tiger victories and both are members of the 2,000-yard rushing club. Buddy Gore (1966-68) was Clemson’s first ACC Player-of-the-Year in 1967 when he became the first Tiger to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, and he did it in just 10 games. He concluded that year with a 189-yard effort against South Carolina that allowed him to reach the magic number. He was a two-time, First-Team All-ACC player and is still 10th in Clemson history in career rushing yards (2,571). Ken Callicutt (1974-77) rushed for 197 yards against South Carolina in a 54-32 victory in 1974. That remains the school record for rushing yards against the Gamecocks. He is 14th in Tiger history in career rushing yards (2,256). Callicutt went on to play five years and 66 games in the NFL. He is sixth in Clemson history in NFL games played among non-drafted free agents.

Jessica Martin is director of advising and recruiting in the student services area of the College of Architecture, Art & Humanities. In this capacity, Martin serves as the front line for the college in recruiting new students, answering questions, assisting with major selection and career planning. She also plans programs to ensure that the college’s students are well informed about job and graduate school opportunities. Martin is also the adviser of the Ambassador Program, the college’s informed, involved and passionate voices who promote the College of Architecture, Art & Humanities to potential students. This year, Martin has been selected for the inaugural President’s Leadership Institute, a 10-month program designed to advance professional and personal growth potential. She will also be presenting on cross-cultural collaborative initiatives at the national conference of advisers.

PROFESSOR-OF-THE-GAME Dr. Anjali Joseph, Ph.D., is the first endowed chair in architecture + health design & research in the College of Architecture, Arts & Humanities. Joseph’s work focuses on understanding the relationship between the built environment and health outcomes. In her research Joseph utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to improving patient safety in health care. As a trained architect, Joseph also studies the role of the built environment in promoting population health. She collaborates extensively and builds relationships with health care organizations and architecture firms as well as non-profit organizations, all to identify and implement the best practices for patient health. In addition to her endowed chair position, Joseph serves as director of the Center for Health Facilities Design & Testing, where she and her team are currently working on improving the design of operating room environments to ensure the best possible outcomes.

HERO-OF-THE-GAME Wallace Storey grew up in Greenville, S.C., and entered Clemson in 1940. He left Clemson after the first semester in 1942 to join the United States Army Air Forces, with the goal of becoming a pilot. He served with the Mighty Eighth Air Force, flying 35 combat missions in a B-17 Flying Fortress out of England. Most of his missions were flown against the most heavily defended targets in the heart of Germany. His wife, Martha Ray, had a brother that flew over 50 missions in a B-17 out of Italy. Wallace returned to Clemson after the war and graduated in 1947 with degrees in electrical and mechanical engineering. He spent two years working with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), a predecessor of NASA. He returned to the Upstate of South Carolina and spent the rest of his working career working for Milliken. He retired from the United States Air Force Reserve as a lieutenant colonel, continued to consult for Milliken and served on the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport Commission for 15 years.

WIDEOUT DEON CAIN HAS FOUR RECEIVING TOUCHDOWNS IN THE LAST TWO GAMES, INCLUDING TWO AT BOSTON COLLEGE.

The victory improved the Wolfpack to 4-1 for the third consecutive year. The Wolfpack’s ability to run the ball and commit fewer mistakes proved to be the difference in the win. Matthew Dayes had his ninth career 100-yard rushing game against the Fighting Irish. He is averaging 113 yards per game on the ground. Ryan Finley has been the starter in every game and has completed 89-128 passes, good for a 69.5 percentage, among the best in the nation. He has passed for 1,045 yards and nine touchdowns and has yet to throw an interception. He is averaging 209 passing yards per game and has quarterbacked the offense to 34 points and 444 yards per game. Jaylen Samuels leads the team in receptions with 21 for 191 yards and four touchdowns, while Stephen Louis is averaging 25 yards per catch and leads the team in receiving yards (328). The Wolfpack defense was outstanding against Notre Dame, holding the Fighting Irish to just 112 yards and 10 first downs. Most important, Notre Dame scored just three points, the fewest in the seven years Brian Kelly has been the head coach at Notre Dame. Bradley Chubb, the cousin of the Georgia running back Nick Chubb, leads the team in tackles for loss (8.5). Airius Moore is second on the team in tackles (34) and has seven tackles for loss.

STREAK OF TOP-FIVE RANKINGS While Clemson has not been ranked No. 1 in any poll this year, the Tigers have been ranked in the top five in every poll. That gives Clemson a streak of 15 straight polls in the top five, the longest active streak in the nation. Alabama is second on that list with 13 straight polls in the top five. Michigan and Ohio State are tied for third with six straight.

OFFENSE IN STRIDE Clemson has been on a hot streak when it comes to offense. In fact, the offense has been so explosive over the last four games that it has left the defense on the field for long periods of time. Boston College had the ball for 38 minutes and Louisville had it for over 37 minutes the week before. Over the last two games, Clemson has averaged at least 8.2 yards per play. It is the first time in school history it has had back-to-back games with at least 8.0 yards per play. The Tigers had 62 plays for 507 yards (8.2 yards per play) in the win over Louisville the last time Clemson played at home. Then, the Tigers had 8.3 yards per play on 61 plays at Boston College. The closest Clemson came to consecutive games with at least 8.0 yards per

play took place in 2006, when Clemson averaged 9.6 yards per play against Temple, then 7.9 yards per play against Louisiana Tech. Clemson has had three games of at least 500 yards this year, but it has done it each of the last two contests. It is about the time the Tigers started their record 11 consecutive games of at least 500 yards last year. The Tigers have been scoring and doing it in quick fashion the last four games. Clemson has scored 23 touchdowns and has two field goals for 25 total scoring drives the last four games on 56 offensive possessions. Clemson has had a scoring drive under two minutes on 14 of those 25 scoring drives, including seven drives under a minute. The Tigers had five touchdown drives of less than one minute in the win over Louisville. The win at Boston College finally saw the Tigers hit some big plays. Entering the game, Clemson had not had a play of 50 yards. Then, Clemson had three in the first quarter at Boston College (the nation’s top defense), a 59-yard run by Wayne Gallman, a 50-yard reception by Mike Williams and a 56-yard touchdown catch by Jordan Leggett. Boston College had allowed just two plays of 50 yards entering the contest.

CAIN IS ABLE Wide receiver Deon Cain is on a hot streak in terms of scoring touchdowns. In 2016, Cain has just 13 receptions, but six have gone for touchdowns. He has had two touchdown catches in each of the last two games, wins over No. 3 Louisville and Boston College. He is the first Tiger to have at least two touchdown receptions in consecutive games since 2014, when Mike Williams had two against both North Carolina and NC State. Cain has been a streaky player when it comes to touchdowns in career. In 2015, he had five straight games with at least one touchdown catch, breaking a freshman record that had been held by Sammy Watkins. Cain has just 47 career receptions, but 11 have gone for touchdowns in just 18 games.

WATSON SEEKS 25TH WIN Deshaun Watson won his 24th game as Clemson’s starting signal-caller in the 56-10 win at Boston College. He has a 24-2 record, as the 92.3 winning percentage is the best in school history. A victory for Watson and the Tigers against NC State would give him 25 wins. He would become just the fourth Clemson quarterback with that many career wins. Rodney Williams (1985-88) and Tajh Boyd (2010-13) had 32 wins apiece, and Charlie Whitehurst (2002-05) had 25 Clemson is 6-4 (.600) all-time on October 15. The last game on victories.

ON THIS DATE

this date was the Tigers’ 56-45 victory on the road at Maryland in 2011.

BOULWARE BEN

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

ALL IN THE FAMILY BY RACHEL EAGLETON

BEN BOULWARE SHARES A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS BROTHERS, WHO ARE THE INSPIRATION BEHIND HIS PLAY ON THE GRIDIRON.

en Boulware. That is a name feared throughout college football. However, to those who know him best, he is just a good-hearted, caring, family man. Don’t believe us? Just ask Boulware to talk about his family, who resides in nearby Anderson, S.C., and an immediate glow comes across his face and his eyes light up. “My family was one of the main reasons I decided to come to Clemson,” explained #10. “I believe I was destined to come here. “Every Sunday, I go home and hang out with my family. I would rather hang out with my mom and my dad than most of my friends.” At the center of the Boulware family is the youngest of the siblings, Cameron. A senior at T.L. Hanna High School who likes to play the drums and run cross country, Cameron is autistic. He has also given his older brother, Ben, a unique perspective on life. “Cameron teaches me life lessons and values without realizing it. His attitude about day-to-day life of always being happy, even dealing with more pressures than I do, helps me be a better person each day. Boulware’s older brother, Garrett, also has a legacy at Clemson. He was a catcher for the Tigers from 2012-14 and now plays in the minor leagues with the Cincinnati Reds’ organization. A career .295 hitter in 150 games, he was drafted in the 16th round after serving as a team co-captain and being a SecondTeam All-ACC selection in 2014. Having seen the two brothers’ athletic careers bloom at Clemson has been a special memory for his parents. “It’s cool for them to see me grow up with this program,” said Boulware. “It has been fun for them to see both me and my brothers’ careers. I am glad they come to all of my games, because they are who I play for.” However, the Boulwares were not always a football family. When they were

children, Ben and Garrett raced motocross, traveling much of the week and racing on the weekends. But one injury made his mother realize enough was enough. “In third grade, I broke an arm racing in Virginia,” remarked Boulware. “It was so bad that the bone popped out. The injury got dirt in it and got very infected. I was out of racing for a year-and-a-half and I had to get an IV attached to my heart because I had dirt in my bloodstream. We almost had to cut my arm off because of it. “My mom was tired of the injuries and was stressed from traveling all the time. So I decided to move to a safer sport...football.” Once he started football, Boulware never looked back. At one point, there were three Boulwares stacking the roster at T.L. Hanna High School.

“My freshman year of high school, it was me, my brother and my other cousin all playing linebacker. Growing up playing with my brother and my cousins is my fondest memory of playing football.” T.L. Hanna High School is not the only place the Boulware family shares. Much of his family graduated from Clemson or nearby. “My dad got a degree in welding at Tri-County Tech and my mom majored in computer science at Clemson. My older brother played baseball here and my sister is a junior packaging science major at Clemson. “It is so cool to share this with them. I love my family and I like being close to them.” Last spring, Boulware had the opportunity to leave Clemson early for the NFL draft. However, something inside of him stopped him from declaring.

“College football is fun. I love Clemson and college is fun. I had one more year left in college and I didn’t want to leave that behind to go into the real world. I knew I wasn’t done here.” He is off to a great start in his final year. He had a game of national significance in the 42-36 win over No. 3 Louisville on October 1. He had a careerhigh 17 tackles, three tackles for loss, a recovered fumble and pass breakup. Boulware was named national defensive player-of-the-week by FWAA, Lott IMPACT Player-of-the-Week and was named the top defensive player for the week by the Bednarik Award. When the time does come, Boulware said he will be ready to contribute to his new team in any way he can. “I prepare a lot for each game, so by Saturday, I am calm and comfortable. I am a very instinctual linebacker...I am always able to find my way to the ball. I give 110 percent all the time. I make a lot of plays that surprise a lot of people because of it.” Something that surprised Boulware when he first arrived at Clemson took place when the 2013 seniors tried to instill some advice in the new class of freshmen. “I remember being a freshman and hearing all of the seniors saying it goes by fast. You need to maximize your opportunity, and the four years have gone by so fast. I really learned to maximize my time here once I realized how fast it was flying by. “I am trying to make the most out of each opportunity I have. College and a college football career go by so quickly. I can’t believe it is almost over for me.” When it is the end for Boulware at Clemson, he wants to be remembered this way. “I want to be remembered as a teammate who put the team first and gave it my all on the field for my brothers, coaches, family and this university.”

WATKINS

CARLOS

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

PLAYING WITH A PURPOSE

BY ELAINE DAY

CARLOS WATKINS SUFFERED A DEVASTING INJURY IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN 2013. BUT HE HAS OVERCOME OBSTACLES TO BECOME AN ANCHOR ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE IN 2016.

uring Clemson’s matchup with Appalachian State in 2015, defensive tackle Carlos Watkins returned an interception for a touchdown, the first score of his career and the first touchdown by a Clemson defensive tackle since 2006, when Jock McKissic raced 82 yards after an interception against South Carolina. That “pick-six” is Watkins’ favorite moment in a Tiger uniform, but not just because it was a rare moment for a player at his position. It was especially meaningful because of a night just two years prior that changed his life forever. “It was my sophomore year,” remembered Watkins. “I had gone home (to Mooresboro, N.C.) after a Thursday night game against NC State. I was hanging out with two of my cousins and we were about to go to a cookout. But on our way to the cookout, it had been raining and we were making a turn when the car started spinning out of control.” The car collided with and knocked over a telephone pole, part of which ended up covering Watkins’ legs and rendered him temporarily immobile. The impact also caused his cousin in the back seat to sustain a fatal spinal injury. It was a tragic sequence of events that Watkins will never forget. “It’s definitely changed the way that I live,” said Watkins. “My cousin who passed away in the accident was the one who told me that I had a chance to change my life with football. He believed in me, so I play for him.” Watkins knew that continuing his football career was one of the best ways to honor his cousin, and that is another reason why his touchdown two years later was such an important moment in his Clemson career...it happened on what would have been his cousin’s birthday. “The biggest lesson that I learned from that whole experience is that you really have to enjoy life, as I say it,” he said. “You never know when your time is coming. “I also learned how to face adversity. That was one of the toughest things I’ve had to go through, but I learned that what doesn’t break you only makes you stronger. I use that as motivation. I could’ve easily quit playing football or lost my way, but you really have to have a strong mind to get through something like that.” A strong mind was definitely required for Watkins to get himself back on the field, as he came away from the accident with what he described as “a big hematoma” in each leg. His future in the game was uncertain, but he credits the people who were around him at Clemson, like former Tiger D.J. Reader, for getting him through the trying time, both physically and mentally. “The recovery was tough,” admitted Watkins. “But the training staff really helped me recover. My teammates pushed me through it as well. Just loving football, I really wanted to get back out there and play as quickly as possible. “The wreck happened after the third game of the season, so I wanted to get back. The love of the game and having

great people surround me really helped me through that tough time.” During the recovery process, Watkins also had the support of his parents and hometown, two sources of encouragement that have had a major influence on his life. “My parents and my hometown have really been there for me. There have been a lot of prayers and motivational messages sent from people in my hometown. They’re behind me. Something like that is the reason why I play...for their support.” He came back for the 2014 season and played 11 games as a reserve defensive tackle and had 13 tackles. In 2015, the Tigers had lost three defensive tackles to the NFL, and it was time for Watkins to step up. He did, starting 14 games for the 14-1 Tigers. He had 69 tackles, eight tackles for loss and was named First-Team All-ACC. Perhaps his biggest moment of 2015 came against No. 6 Notre Dame, when he was in on the goal-line stand that preserved the 24-22 win. Watkins’ hometown means so much to him, and that has allowed him to make his comeback. In fact, it is that part why he chose to become a Tiger in the first place. He has always enjoyed the family atmosphere that characterizes the Clemson community. “I’m from a small town, and this is like a small town, so it feels like being at home to me. I came down and visited the coaches before committing, and it’s a family-based atmosphere. Everyone treats you like family down here. And the ‘Valley’ is great on gamedays.”

Now in his fifth and final season in Tigertown, it is the people Watkins has encountered and formed bonds with during his Clemson experience that have defined his time here, and he is thankful for everything they have done for him along the way. “Looking back, being at Clemson has been the best,” reminisced #94. “I’ve played with a lot of guys who have gone on and done great things, and now we have new guys coming in ready to do the same thing, so it’s really been special. You get to meet a lot of people who you

will know forever. It’s a brotherhood. It’s been really special, so I hope I can end it the right way.” For Watkins, ending it the right way means, “playing hard, giving great effort and being a leader. “I really want to be remembered as a guy who gave it all out on the field. I also want to be remembered as a dominant guy on the field and a good guy off the field. “But the main thing is that I would like to always be remembered as a Clemson Tiger.”

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

SEIZING THE MOMENT BY RACHEL EAGLETON

ANDY TEASDALL WALKED ON TO THE TEAM IN 2013 AND SEIZED HIS OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A STARTER. BUT IT WAS A PLAY IN THE 2015 ORANGE BOWL THAT HAS BEEN HIS BIGGEST MOMENT.

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

hen he first set foot on Clemson University’s campus, Andy Teasdall knew he wanted to be involved in athletics. “A goal of mine growing up was to play college sports. I always liked sports and being a part of a team.” However, Teasdall’s sport of choice was not football...it was lacrosse. He had taken up lacrosse because his brothers played and his father excelled in the sport. “My dad won two national titles with Johns Hopkins’ lacrosse team,” said #32. “I originally started playing because he put a stick in my hands. “He would coach me growing up. I was always better at lacrosse than football and I would still say that is true.” During his last few years in high school, Teasdall was trying to decide what he was looking for in a college and whether or not lacrosse played a part in this decision. “I always wanted to go to a big-time school where you could watch your team on ESPN and follow the sports after you graduate. But the schools recruiting me for lacrosse were not that type of school. “Once I realized that lacrosse wasn’t going to work out, I chose Clemson, because that is where I wanted to go whether I played a sport or not.” Still, Teasdall wanted to remain active and fulfill his childhood ambition of playing at the college level, so he attended walk-on tryouts for the football team during his freshman year. “I tried out in August for kicker/punter and wide receiver,” said the WinstonSalem, N.C., native. “They liked what they saw in my kicking ability, but there weren’t any spots on the team.” The coaches told Teasdall to be patient and they would see if they could find a place for him on the squad. “Somehow, I got pulled on the team the following spring with an extended

tryout and did enough to prove I could stick with it.” Once he made the team, Teasdall was behind Bradley Pinion and Chandler Catanzaro, both of whom are now in the NFL. “I didn’t really think I would get a chance to play...I was just happy to be on the team and play at this level. I was always trying to be the backup, but wasn’t really good enough behind them, so I was the backup’s backup.” But after Catanzaro graduated, it was only Pinion and Teasdall, and Pinion had made the decision to leave early for the NFL draft, so head coach Dabo Swinney took Teasdall aside. “He pulled me in his office and said something along the lines of, ‘This spring will be a big spring for you. Continue to work hard and earn your spot.’” Teasdall found motivation in his only performance at the college level, the 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl. “At the Russell Athletic Bowl, I actually got in twice and did well (43.5-yard average on two punts), and so I used that to push myself and had a really good spring and summer. “One day, it clicked and I realized I could play at this level.”

One afternoon during summer camp, the coaches decided to surprise Teasdall and fellow walk-on Hunter Renfrow. They were told they were going on scholarship. “I was surprised at the timing of my scholarship. I was so happy that I got to share that moment with Hunter. To be able to share that bond with him is pretty cool. It was great that they documented that moment for us.” Not only did Teasdall and Renfrow share new scholarships, they also share a friendship that is special to Teasdall. “As great a football player as Hunter is, he is even better off the field. He makes a lot of people around him better. I have really enjoyed getting to know him.” Another Tiger teammate who Teasdall shares a bond with is defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. In 2015, Teasdall infamously faked a punt on fourth down in the ACC Championship Game against North Carolina, and the play failed miserably. Teasdall had not received instructions from Swinney to run the ball, and the head coach let him know it on the sideline. But in the 2015 Orange Bowl against Oklahoma, he did call Teasdall’s num-

ANDY TEASDALL’S PASS ON A FAKE PUNT TO CHRISTIAN WILKINS TURNED THE TIDE IN CLEMSON’S FAVOR IN THE 2015 ORANGE BOWL VICTORY. THEY RECEIVED THE TROPHY FOR COMPETITIONOF-THE-YEAR AT THE CLEMMYS IN APRIL.

ber, this time with a pass on a fake punt. He completed a perfect pass to Wilkins for 31 yards. It set up a touchdown, and the momentum of the game changed dramatically. The Tigers went on to a 37-17 victory. “Looking back, the situation and how it worked out is funny. In life and in sports especially, you have to take the good with the good and the bad with the bad. You can’t get too low. “The fact that coach Swinney called it surprises me still. He is a great visionary, man and role model. To share that moment with Christian is special as well.” As much as Swinney’s faith in him shaped his on-field performance, someone else had a big part in his game-time philosophy. “My freshman year of high school, we had a good family friend who was on the football team, #57 Matt Gfeller. He had a very promising future, but had gotten a concussion and passed away. “That was a really tough time and I try and think about him when I don’t want to do something. His death puts things in perspective, like how important family and friends are.” Gfeller’s passing pushes Teasdall to be a greater role model for his teammates. “For the younger guys on the team, I want to be someone who works hard and does the right things. I want to be a good role model for them and someone they can come talk to any time.” As his time at Clemson comes to a close, Teasdall, who already has his marketing degree, has a few plans on the horizon. “This could be the last time I am ever on a sports team, so I am enjoying the moment. Of course, I will try Pro Day, but obviously, that is a tough gig. I am trying to delay the real world as much as possible. “But whatever happens, I am prepared thanks to Clemson.”

ames P. Clements became Clemson University’s 15th president on Dec. 31, 2013. Since his arrival, the value of the Tiger Paw has never been higher, thanks to an increasing academic reputation and the national exposure from our recent success in athletics. Under Clements’ leadership, Clemson has broken records in admissions, enrollment, research, facilities development, athletics, graduation and retention rates and fundraising, including the successful completion of the $1 billion Will to Lead capital campaign. Clements is a nationally recognized leader in higher education who has served as president of a university in three different athletic conferences (Big East, Big 12, ACC), where he is also the current chair of the ACC Council of Presidents. Before he came to Clemson, Clements served as president of West Virginia University for nearly five years. During that time, WVU set significant records in private fundraising, enrollment and research funding. He was a leader in West Virginia, chairing the boards of the West Virginia United Health System, the WVU Hospitals and the WVU Research Corporation. And while he loved his time at WVU, he decided he would leave Morgantown for only one institution...Clemson University. Clements was born in Arlington, Va., but spent the majority of his life in Maryland before relocating to West Virginia and until his move to Clemson. The grandson of a coal miner and firefighter and son to parents who taught him and his three older siblings that education was the key to a better life, Clements is a first-generation college graduate. This was a key reason he pursued a life and career in higher education...to

give others the same opportunity he was given by getting a formal education. Clements holds a B.S. degree in computer science and an M.S. degree and a Ph.D. in operations analysis from the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, as well as an M.S. degree in computer science from Johns Hopkins

University. He was also awarded an honorary degree as doctor of public education from his alma mater, UMBC. He has published and presented more than 75 papers in the fields of computer science, higher education, information technology, project management and strategic planning. He also

served as principal investigator or coinvestigator on more than $15 million in research grants. Prior to his service at WVU, he served as provost and vice president for academic affairs, vice president for economic & community outreach and the Robert W. Deutsch Distinguished Professor of Information Technology at Towson University, the second largest university in the University System of Maryland, where he was a four-time winner of the Faculty Member-of-the-Year award, given by Towson students. Clements’ Successful Project Management book is now in its seventh edition, is published in multiple languages and used in numerous countries. His other leadership positions include co-chair of the National Advisory Council on Innovation & Entrepreneurship, the only university president on the board; current member and past chair of the board of directors for the Association of Public & Land-Grant Universities, North America’s oldest higher education association; and board positions with the American Council on Education, the Business-Higher Education Forum and the Council on Competitiveness. Clements also serves on the executive committee of APLU’s Commission of Innovation, Competitiveness & Economic Prosperity. He previously chaired the ACE Commission on Leadership. Clements and his wife, Beth, have been married for 25 years and have four children, Ty, Hannah, Maggie and Grace, and a son-in-law, Tanner Coombs.

Director of Athletics

DAN RADAKOVICH CLEMSON’S 13TH DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS, IN HIS FIFTH SEASON IN TIGERTOWN, HAS OVER 28 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AT PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

y nearly every measure, Dan Radakovich led Clemson to one of the best athletic years in school history in 2015-16. With a fall semester featuring berths in the national championship games in both football and men’s soccer and spring ACC titles in men’s golf and baseball, the Tigers recorded their highest finish in the Learfield Director’s Cup in a decade. In the classroom, 78 student-athletes earned degrees and, while competing for national titles, both football and men’s soccer registered record GPAs. Clemson’s Graduation Success Rate and Academic Progress Rate continue to be among the nation’s best, as football, men’s basketball and women’s golf were recognized among the top-10 percent nationally in APR, with football earning the distinction for the sixth consecutive year. Named the 13th director of athletics in Clemson history on Dec. 1, 2012, Radakovich has continuously led the Tiger athletic department to high achievements both on the field and in the classroom while developing significant upgrades in finance and facilities. Since his arrival in December 2013, the athletic department has received approvals for $176 million in facility improvements and increased spending on direct student-athlete development programs, including nutrition, mental health and professional development by $2.4 million. His department has increased overall revenue from $69 million in fiscal year 2014 to a budgeted $99.7 million in fiscal year 2017. Radakovich came to Clemson with a wealth of experience after serving in sig-

nificant athletic administrative roles at Miami (Fla.), Long Beach State, South Carolina and Louisiana State in addition to athletic directorships at American University and Georgia Tech. His administrative career spans over 28 years. College football entered a new era in 2014 with the College Football Playoff, and he was at the forefront. He was one of 13 people, including one of only five FBS directors of athletics, to be named to the committee. Following the 2014-15 academic year, Radakovich was named a finalist for the SportsBusiness Journal Athletics Director-of-the-Year award. In 2012, he was named by NCAA president Mark Emmert as one of 10 directors of athletics to a new advisory commission charged with making recommendations for the future of NCAA rules and policies. Radakovich came to Clemson from Georgia Tech, where he served with dis-

tinction for six years (2006-12). Just Clemson’s fifth director of athletics since 1940, he replaced Terry Don Phillips, who retired after over 10 years directing the program. During his career at Georgia Tech, it had 51 teams advance to either NCAA Tourney play or bowl games in his six years. That includes five sports (football, women’s basketball, softball, women’s tennis, men’s golf) that made the postseason every year. The baseball program missed just once. A total of 11 different sports programs finished in the top 25 of at least one major poll 27 times. That includes a national championship women’s tennis program in 2007, just its second team title in history. There were 14 ACC titles celebrated in addition to nine regularseason conference or division titles. The construction of new facilities or upgrades to existing ones was a focus of Radakovich’s tenure with the Yellow

Jacket program. The John & Mary Brock Football Practice Facility, which opened in 2011, and McCamish Pavilion, which opened for basketball in 2012, are two of the top facilities of their kind in college athletics. Radakovich also initiated the Athletic Director’s Initiative Fund, started in 2006, which raised cash and pledges of more than $12 million. The Aliquippa, Pa., native was first made aware of Tiger athletics through the basketball exploits of Butch Zatezalo, who was from the same town. Zatezalo was a three-time All-ACC Tiger whose legendary 25-point scoring nights received a lot of attention in Pennsylvania in the 1960s when Radakovich was a youth. Prior to his tenure at Georgia Tech, Radakovich worked as a senior associate athletic director at Louisiana State from 2001-06. He had many responsibilities that dealt with the football program and worked closely with then head coach Nick Saban, including the year (2003) the Tigers won the national title. He became a director of athletics for the first time at American University in Washington, D.C., in 2000. Between 1994 and 2000, Radakovich served as chief financial officer at South Carolina. During that time, he worked with current Clemson football administrators Woody McCorvey and Brad Scott. He gained experience on the West Coast from 1989-94, when he was a senior associate athletic director at Long Beach State. He got his start in administration at Miami (Fla.) in 1983 as the athletic business manager. Radakovich is a 1980 graduate of Indiana (Pa.), where he earned a bachelor’s degree in finance. He was also a football letterman and student coach with the Crimson Hawk program. He was enshrined into the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and was recognized as a distinguished alumnus from Indiana (Pa.) in 2009. He earned his master’s degree in business administration from Miami (Fla.) in 1982. Radakovich, born June 9, 1958, and his wife, Marcie, have two sons, Christian, a 2012 Georgia Tech graduate, and Grant, a 2015 Mercer graduate who joined the Clemson football program over the summer.

Head Coach

DABO SWINNEY DABO SWINNEY, THE 2015 HOME DEPOT NATIONAL COACH-OF-THE-YEAR, AND HIS ALL-IN APPROACH HAS LED THE PROGRAM TO RECORD-SETTING HEIGHTS.

here is a strong coaching heritage over the 120 years of Clemson football that dates to the early 1900s, when John Heisman led the program. Jess Neely and Frank Howard continued the winning

and joined Heisman in the College Football Hall of Fame. Danny Ford, a finalist for the hall of fame in 2017, led Clemson to the 1981 national championship. Dabo Swinney has been at Clemson for just eight years as head coach, but he

THE SWINNEY FILE PLAYING EXPERIENCE Lettered three years at Alabama (1990-92); also a member of the 1989 team ... member of the 1992 national championship team ... Academic All-SEC and SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990,92.

EDUCATION B.S. degree in commerce & business administration from Alabama in 1993 ... master of business administration from Alabama in 1995.

PERSONAL DATA Born Nov. 20, 1969 in Birmingham, Ala. ... married to the former Kathleen Bassett ... the couple has three sons (Will 18, Drew 16, Clay 13).

has cemented himself among the Tiger legends of the past. He is the first person to say that the program has not reached all of its goals just yet, but he took the 2015 Tigers to the brink of winning the program’s second national title.

Swinney guided Clemson to the No. 1 spot in every College Football Playoff poll in 2015 and led the Tigers to their first national championship game appearance under the new format after his team defeated Oklahoma 37-17 in the Orange Bowl. The Tigers led Alabama in the fourth quarter of the championship game, but came up just short in an epic game in Glendale, Ariz. Following the team’s 14-1 record and No. 2 final ranking, Swinney was the recipient of 10 national and two ACC coach-of-the-year honors. The win over Oklahoma made him just the second coach in college football history (joining Alabama’s Bear Bryant) to beat the Sooners in two bowl games. Clemson’s 13th win, which came against North Carolina in the ACC Championship Game, established a school record. It was the Tigers’ 15th ACC title, matching Florida State for most in history. All told, the Tigers defeated four teams that finished the season in the top 15 of both polls, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, North Carolina and Florida State. Swinney coached Deshaun Watson to a record-setting sophomore season in

2015. Watson became Clemson’s first Heisman Trophy finalist after becoming the first player in FBS history to total 4,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a season. Watson was the ACC Player-of-theYear and MVP of both the ACC Championship Game and Orange Bowl. He won the Davey O’Brien Award and Manning Award and was Clemson’s second ACC Athlete-of-the-Year in history. From 2011-15, Clemson compiled a 56-12 record, the most wins in a fiveyear period in school history. Thirty-six of the victories came against ACC teams. The 2015 seniors finished their careers with a 46-8 record, including a 29-4 ACC mark. Clemson was in the top-10 percent of APR scores and the final top 25 of the AP and USA Today polls in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the only FBS program that could make that claim. In eight years (seven full seasons) as the Tigers’ head coach, Swinney has directed Clemson to a 75-27 overall record (.735) and a 47-14 ACC regularseason mark (.770). He has also led the Tigers to the ACC Championship Game three times, won two ACC titles, won or shared four ACC Atlantic Division titles and won five bowl games. With the 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl win over Oklahoma and head coach Bob Stoops, Swinney became the first and only coach in history to win three bowl games in consecutive seasons over teams whose head coaches had previously won a national title. The 2015

THE SWINNEY FAMILY - DABO AND WIFE, KATHLEEN, ALONG WITH DREW, CLAY AND WILL.

Orange Bowl win over Oklahoma made it four in a row. Defense was the key to success for the 2014 Tigers, as they led the nation in total defense, pass efficiency defense, first downs allowed, third-down conver-

sion percentage defense and tackles for loss along with being in the top five in many other defensive categories. Defensive end Vic Beasley was named ACC Defensive Player-of-the-Year as well as being a finalist for multiple national

awards and a first-team All-American thanks to his 21.5 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. Beasley and Stephone Anthony were both first-round draft picks in 2015. Clemson capped off the 2013 season with a thrilling 40-35 victory over No. 6 Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. Clemson had an 11-2 record after finishing 7-1 in ACC regular-season games for the second year in a row. It marked Clemson’s first back-to-back 11-win seasons in school history. The Tigers were No. 12 in the final BCS standings. It was the third straight year Clemson finished in the top 15 of the BCS standings, one of only six schools that could make that claim. Clemson, who was ranked No. 7 in the final USA Today poll and No. 8 in the final AP poll, was also one of only five programs in the top 20 of every BCS standing from 2011 to 2013. Tajh Boyd broke many Clemson career records for quarterbacks thanks in part to 2013, when he completed 68.5 percent of his passes for 3,851 yards and 34 touchdowns. Boyd’s 107 career passing touchdowns and 133 total touchdowns were ACC records as well. Sammy Watkins was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award and was a first-team All-American, as he had 101 receptions for 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns. He established Tiger career records for receptions, receiving yards and tied the receiving touchdowns mark as well. The 2012 season (11-2) was a groundbreaking year for Swinney’s Tigers when looking at the overall consistency of the program. The seven conference wins in the regular season set a school record, while Clemson was co-champion of the ACC Atlantic Division. The school record for

consecutive wins at Memorial Stadium (13) was also established, as was the record for consecutive wins by 14+ points (7). With Clemson’s thrilling 25-24 win over No. 7 Louisiana State in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl, the Tigers finished the season ranked No. 9 in the USA Today poll. It was Clemson’s first top-10 finish in one of the two major polls since 1990. The 2012 campaign featured a record-setting offense. Clemson had six of the 11 offensive players on the All-ACC first team chosen by the media and set over 80 Tiger team and individual records. Leading the way was Boyd, the ACC Player-of-the-Year. The quarterback joined center Dalton Freeman as firstteam All-Americans by AFCA, just the third time since 1945 that the AFCA first-team All-America quarterback and center were from the same school. Boyd’s favorite wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, had 18 receiving touchdowns, second most in the nation, and was a second-team All-American. He was a big reason Clemson scored a then school-record 533 points. Swinney’s 2011 squad, which ended the season ranked No. 22 in the nation, captured Clemson’s first ACC title since 1991 when it beat No. 3 Virginia Tech 38-10 in the ACC Championship Game. It tied for the highest-ranked team the Tigers defeated in history. The win, the Tigers’ second over the Hokies in 2011, gave Clemson its first 10-win season since 1990. The Tigers’ four wins over top-25 ranked teams established a school record.

Swinney was named Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year in 2011 to become the first Tiger head coach to win a national coach-of-the-year award since 1981, when Ford directed Clemson to the national title. Dwayne Allen received the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end and totaled 50 receptions for 598 yards and eight touchdowns. Boyd set the school record for total yards (4,046), passing yards (3,828) and passing touchdowns (33), all marks he eclipsed

in subsequent seasons. Andre Branch, a finalist for the Hendricks Award, had an ACC-high 17 tackles for loss and an ACC-high 10.5 sacks. Watkins was one of the most dynamic freshmen in the nation. The ACC Rookie-of-the-Year totaled 82 receptions for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns despite missing one game due to injury. Watkins was also an AP First-Team All-American. Swinney became just the second Tiger coach to lead Clemson’s program to a bowl game in his first two full years

as head coach, joining his predecessor, Tommy Bowden. The 2010 season included wins over bowl teams Georgia Tech, Maryland and NC State. The team excelled defensively in 2010 and was 13th in the nation in scoring defense and in the top 25 in total defense and passing defense. C.J. Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American in 2009 and Da’Quan Bowers duplicated the feat on the defense a year later. Bowers won the 2010 Nagurski Award as the nation’s

top defensive player and he received the Hendricks Award as the country’s top defensive end. He led the nation in sacks (15.5) and tied for the national lead in tackles for loss (26). In 2009, Swinney’s first full year as head coach, he led the Tigers to their first championship of the ACC’s Atlantic Division. Swinney was named ACC coach-of-the-year by Sporting News. He totaled nine wins, second most among FBS coaches in their first full year. They also tied for fourth most in ACC history for a first-year head coach. The main reason Clemson was so outstanding on special teams was the play of college football’s most dynamic player (Spiller) in 2009. The Tiger running back was named MVP of the ACC in 2009 and was a consensus All-American. He had five kick returns for touchdowns during the 2009 season, an all-time Clemson record, and established the NCAA record for kickoff returns for touchdowns in a career (7). In October 2008, Swinney was named Clemson interim head coach, replacing Bowden, who had been his position coach as a player at Alabama and was Clemson’s head coach since 1999. He led the Tigers to a 4-2 record over the remainder of the 2008 regular season, including a win over South Carolina in the regular-season finale. On Dec. 1, 2008, the interim tag was removed from the title and he was named the program’s head coach. At the time, there had been 28 interim head coaches at the FBS level since 1970 and those coaches had combined for a record of 26-86-2. Only one of those 28 interim coaches posted a winning record, and that was Swinney.

The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his 13 years as an assistant or head coach, the Tigers have finished in the top 25 of the polls nine times and have 24 wins over top-25 teams, including victories over Florida State (6), Auburn (2), Miami (Fla.) (2), Oklahoma (2), Virginia Tech (2), Georgia (1), Louisiana State (1), Ohio State (1) and Tennessee (1) during his tenure in Tigertown. Swinney coached his wide receiver position to a level of consistency that had not been seen previously at Clemson. He had a wideout finish first or second in the ACC in catches in five of his six years as an assistant coach. In his first year, he had three of the top-10 receivers in the ACC, a first in Tiger history. He has coached a First or Second-Team

All-ACC wideout in 12 of his 13 seasons in Tigertown, also an unprecedented feat at Clemson. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as the No. 5 recruiter in the nation by Rivals. It marked the second straight year that he was lauded by the website as a top-25 national recruiter. Swinney received a commerce & business administration degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three times (1990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholarship, Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama’s 1992 national championship team. He was also named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990 and 1992.

After his playing career, Swinney served as a graduate assistant from 1993-95 at Alabama, where he coached in the 1994 Gator Bowl and 1995 Citrus Bowl. In December 1995, he received a master’s degree in business administration from Alabama. He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February 1996 under head coach Gene Stallings and coached five seasons there on a full-time basis. Swinney was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers and tight ends in 1996. The following year, he solely coached the tight ends. From April 2001 to February 2003, Swinney was in private business in Alabama. He married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will (18), Drew (16) and Clay (13).

STRENGTH &

CONDITIONING CLEMSON FOOTBALL

significant aspect of Phase II of the WestZone project at Memorial Stadium was the construction of a new strength training facility on the first floor that is adjacent to the Clemson locker room and the Frank Howard Field playing surface. For the first time, there is a strength training facility exclusively for the development of the Tiger football team. Director of football strength & conditioning Joey Batson, who is in his 20th season at Clemson, makes sure that all Tiger gridders are ready to compete against the top teams in the nation. In his first 19 years in Tigertown, Clemson has been to 18 bowl games and he has coached 30 strength All-Americans on the gridiron. It is the fourth major facilities construction since he joined the program, an example of his desire to keep Clemson at the forefront of strength training. The state-of-the-art facility has the best in all strength training equipment, not to mention the existence of a new sound system, nine flat-screen televisions and a nutrition station, fueled by director of football nutrition Paul Harrington, that give the Tigers a pleasant atmosphere to accomplish the most strenuous work. The strength training facility at Memorial Stadium actually has two floors. The first floor has all the free-weight equipment, including a dumbbell area, and the second floor has cardio equipment. Batson has an extensive staff of strength & conditioning assistants - veteran strength coaches Larry Greenlee, Paul Hogan and Adam Smotherman. In addition, the staff includes graduate assistant Drew McDuffie and five student administrative assistants - Mark Estes, Brennan Goodnature, Pat McNamara, Will Paruta and Steven Wilson.

UNIVERSITY PROFILE NC State was founded with a purpose to create economic, societal and intellectual prosperity for the people of North Carolina and the country. We began as a land-grant institution teaching the agricultural and mechanical arts. Today, we are a pre-eminent research enterprise that excels in science, technology, engineering, math, design, the humanities and social sciences, textiles and veterinary medicine. NC State students, faculty and staff take problems in hand and work with industry, government and nonprofit partners to solve them. Our 34,015 high-performing students apply what they learn in the real world by conducting research, working in internships and co-ops, and performing acts of world-changing service. That experiential education ensures they leave here ready to lead the workforce, confident in the knowledge that NC State consistently rates as one of the best values in higher education.

MEMORIAL STADIUM D E A T H

V A L L E Y

FROM “THE MOST EXCITING 25 SECONDS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL,” TO 85,000 SCREAMING TIGER FANS, DEATH VALLEY HAS GIVEN CLEMSON ONE OF THE BEST HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGES IN THE COUNTRY.

lemson’s Memorial Stadium has been held in high esteem for many years. Whether it be players from the 1940s and 1950s, opposing players from the 1970s and 1980s or even professional players in the 1990s, the ambiance of this special setting is what college football is all about. And in 2013, Bleacher Report rated Memorial Stadium as the third-best stadium in the nation. The storied edifice added to its legend when the first meeting of father-and-son head coaches (Bowden Bowl I) took place before a record crowd of 86,092 fans in 1999. Clemson has been in the top 20 in the nation in average attendance 34 straight seasons. A crowd has exceeded 80,000 fans 70 times since the 1983 season. In 2015, Clemson was 14th in the nation in average home attendance. The legend was further enhanced in 2014 and 2015 when the Tigers had perfect 7-0 home records. Defending national champions are 0-3 all-time at Memorial Stadium. Clemson had a 13game winning streak at home from 2011 to 2012, setting a record for the facility. The Tigers entered the 2016 season with 33 wins in their last 35 home games and a school-record 16-game winning streak. The facility’s mystique is derived from its many traditions, which date to its opening in 1942, the legendary games and players, and Clemson’s corresponding rate of success. The Tigers have won 282 games in 74 years and have won over 73 percent of the contests (282-101-7). The stadium has definitely been good to the Tigers, but it was constructed against the advice of at least one coach. Before head coach Jess Neely left for Rice after the 1939 season, he gave Clemson a message.

“Don’t ever let them talk you into building a big stadium,” he said. “Put about 10,000 seats behind the YMCA. That’s all you’ll ever need.” Instead of following Neely’s advice, Clemson officials decided to build the new stadium in a valley on the western part of campus. The place took some clearing, as there were many trees, but luckily there were no hedges. The crews went to work, clearing, cutting, pouring and forming. On Sept. 19, 1942, Memorial Stadium opened with Clemson defeating Presbyterian College 32-13. Those 20,000 seats installed for the opener would soon grow. When the original part of the stadium was built in the early 1940s, much of the work was done by scholarship athletes, including football players. The first staking out of the stadium was done by two members of the football team, A.N. Cameron and Hugh Webb. Webb returned to Clemson years later to be an architecture professor and Cameron went on to become a civil engineer in Louisiana. The construction of Memorial Stadium did not proceed without problems. One afternoon during the clearing of the land, a young player proudly announced that he was not allergic to poison oak. He then proceeded to attack the poison oak with a swing blade, throwing the plants to and fro. The next day, the boy was swollen twice his size and was hospitalized. There are many other stories about the stadium, including one that Frank Howard put a chew of tobacco in each corner as the concrete poured. Howard said that the seeding of the grass caused a few problems. “About 40 people and I laid sod on the field,” he said. “After three weeks on July 15, we had only gotten halfway through.

“I told them that it had taken us three weeks to get that far and I would give them three more weeks’ pay for however long it took. I also told them we would have 50 gallons of ice cream when we got through. After that, it took them three days to do

the rest of the field. Then we sat down in the middle of the field and ate up that whole 50 gallons.” Howard said that on the day of the first game in the stadium, “the gates were hung at 1 p.m., and we played at 2 p.m.” But that

would be all of the construction for awhile. Then in 1958, 18,000 sideline seats were added, and in 1960, 5,658 West endzone seats were added in response to increasing attendance. With the large East endzone (“Green Grass” section), this expansion increased capacity to 53,000. Later, upper decks were added to each side of Memorial Stadium as crowds swelled, the first in 1978 and the second in 1983. It increased capacity to over 80,000, which makes it one of the largest on-campus stadiums in the country. In 2006, the WestZone was added, an area that contains locker rooms, offices, a weight room and luxury club level that holds over 1,000 seats. The effect that inflation has had can be dramatically seen in the differences in stadium construction. The original part of Memorial Stadium was built at a cost of only $125,000, or $6.25 per seat. Memorial Stadium’s newest upper deck was finished in 1983 at a cost of $13.5 million, or $866 per seat. Through the years, Memorial Stadium has become known as “Death Valley” across the country. It was tagged by Presbyterian College head coach Lonnie McMillian during the late 1940s. After bringing his teams to Clemson for many years and getting whipped, he said the place was like “Death Valley.” A few years later, the name stuck. In 1974, the playing surface was named Frank Howard Field for the legendary coach because of his long service and dedication to Clemson University. Luckily, it wasn’t built behind the YMCA.

RUNNING DOWN

THE HILL A CLEMSON TRADITION SINCE 1942, THE TIGERS HAVE RUN DOWN THE HILL HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN FRONT OF RAUCOUS DEATH VALLEY CROWDS.

hat has been described as “the most exciting 25 seconds in college football” from a color and pageantry standpoint actually started out as a matter-of-fact entrance, mainly because of necessity. The first 20,000 seats in Memorial Stadium were built and ready for use before the 1942 season, less than a year after Pearl Harbor was bombed and the U.S., was drawn into World War II. The shortest entry into Memorial Stadium was a short walk down Williamson Road from Fike Fieldhouse’s dressing rooms to a gate at the top of the Hill, located behind the East endzone. There

were no dressing facilities inside the West endzone of Memorial Stadium...there was only a giant clock, where the hands turned, and a scoreboard that was operated by hand. The team would dress in Fike Fieldhouse, walk down Williamson Road, come in the gate underneath where the scoreboard now stands and jog down the Hill for its warmup exercises. There was no fanfare, no cannon shot fired, no Tiger Paw flag, no “Tiger Rag” played...just the team making its entrance and lining up to do the side-straddle hop. That is the way things went for the next 25 years. Either in 1964 or 1965, Sam Jones, a member of the class of 1919, made a

trip to California. He stopped at a spot in Death Valley, Calif., and picked up a white flint rock. He presented it to head coach Frank Howard as being from Death Valley, California to Death Valley, South Carolina. The rock laid on the floor in Howard’s office in Fike Fieldhouse for years. One day, he was cleaning up his office and told Gene Willimon, who was executive secretary of IPTAY, to “take this rock and throw it over the fence or out in the ditch...do something with it, but get it out of my office!” Willimon did not think that was the way a rock should be treated. After all, it had been brought over 1,900 miles by a very sincere Tiger fan.

By the mid 1960s, Memorial Stadium was living up to its moniker (“Death Valley”) because of the number of Tiger wins that had been recorded there. Actually, the name was first used by Lonnie McMillian, head coach at Presbyterian College during the 1940s. McMillian and the other Blue Hose coaches before him opened each season by playing at Clemson. Seldom scoring (24 shutouts in 39 games) and with only three wins and four ties, his teams were getting “killed” by the Tigers regularly. In 1948, McMillian made the remark to the press that he was taking his team to play Clemson in “Death Valley.” An occasional reference to Memorial Stadium

“THE MOST EXCITING 25 SECONDS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL”

HOWARD'S ROCK

BRENT MUSBURGER

by that name could be heard the next four years, but when Howard started calling it “Death Valley” in the 1950s, the name took off like wildfire. Clemson celebrated its 74th year in the “Valley” in 2015 with a 7-0 home record, one of 12 FBS schools with a perfect home record. But getting back to Howard’s Rock. It was mounted on a pedestal at the top of the Hill on the East side of the stadium. It was unveiled Sept. 24, 1966, when Clemson played Virginia. The Tigers trailed by 18 points with 17 minutes left and came back to win 40-35 on a 75yard pass from Jimmy Addison to Jacky Jackson in the fourth quarter. That was quite a debut for Howard’s Rock.

The team members started rubbing Howard’s Rock prior to running down the Hill on Sept. 23, 1967, a day when Clemson defeated Wake Forest 23-6. Prior to running down the Hill, Howard told his players, “If you’re going to give me 110 percent, you can rub that rock. If you’re not, keep your filthy hands off it!” Howard told of the incident the following day on his television show, and the story became legend. When Hootie Ingram succeeded Howard as head coach in 1970, he made the logical decision that the team would make its final entrance out of the new dressing room in the West endzone. In all home games during the 1970 and 1971

seasons and the first four games of 1972 when the Tigers did not run down the Hill, their combined record was 6-9. The seniors, led by Ben Anderson, decided they wanted to come down the Hill prior to the South Carolina contest, the finale of the 1972 season. The result, in a cold, freezing rain, was a 7-6 victory when Jimmy Williamson knocked down a two-point conversion attempt, which preserved the narrow win. Clemson has made the entrance before every home game since 1942, except for the years mentioned and the first game of 1973 (381 times entering 2016). After final warmups, the team gathers back in its dressing room under the West

endzone stands for its final game instructions. Approximately 10 minutes prior to kickoff, the team boards three buses, rides around behind the North stands to the East endzone and disembarks to the top of the Hill behind Howard’s Rock. At the appointed time, the cannon booms, and led by a giant Tiger Paw flag carried by cheerleaders and Rally Cats, the band forms two lines for the team to run between and strikes up “Tiger Rag.” The frenzy starts in all sincerity and usually lasts three hours. It is a tradition that has inspired Clemson players for many years. Yahoo! Sports agrees, as it rated it the best entrance in the nation in 2014.

FOOTBALL

FACILITIES BEST IS THE STANDARD A

new era of Clemson football is officially underway. Head coach Dabo Swinney and director of athletics Dan Radakovich held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the new football operations complex adjacent to the indoor practice facility in December 2015. In only a few short months, the 140,000 square foot facility has taken root on the west side of the indoor practice area, springing to life one of the nation’s premier complexes for football operations. The targeted completion for the $55 million project is early 2017. The complex will include all the elements needed to run the day-to-day operations - locker room, training room, equipment room, weight room, meeting rooms, dining hall, recruiting center and coaches offices. The plans for the new facility include a dedicated space for player development, which is currently housed in a small area where associate athletic director Jeff Davis works in the WestZone. The uniqueness of the facility does not end there. Inside, the main lobby of the operations complex will house a replica of the Hill, complete with a “Rock” at the top, that will provide a significant boost in terms of recruiting visits. The complex will also utilize plenty of outdoor space, by incorporating the geography from the Seneca River and the surrounding area. One of the biggest advantages the new facility offers is the chance to bring all of the program facets together in close proximity. “We’ve put our guys on trams yearround across the street, and there’s always a little bit of a disconnect when they’re over there and we’re in the WestZone in the summer,” said Swinney. “This allows us to have a football operations center where it all happens - the practice, the indoor facility, everything. You’re with players and interacting with them all the time. “Then on gameday, when you walk in that locker room, it’s special...seven days a year.”

OPENING THIS WINTER!

PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CENTER The centerpiece of the new operations facility will be a personal and professional development center with programs led by Clemson Ring of Honor member and current director of player relations Jeff Davis. Developing our student-athletes as leaders off the field is a hallmark of head coach Dabo Swinney's program, and the new center and programming led by Davis and his staff will put greater resources towards that mission.

Through a seven-step curriculum that spans their time at Clemson, the football student-athletes will have a variety of mentors and educational experiences that will assist them in identifying possible career paths, laying the

foundation for their professional identity, building valuable networking relationships and enhancing the professional skills needed to obtain and maintain employment. • STEP 1 - CAREER ASSESSMENT (career and personality tests, consider potential graduate schedules, speak with a counselor/advisor) • STEP 2 - MENTORSHIP (personal and professional counsel through the entire program) • STEP 3 - BUILD YOUR BRAND (mentorship, social media identity, resume writing, etc.) • STEP 4 - TRAIN (job shadowing, internships, etc.) • STEP 5 - FIND EMPLOYMENT (meaningful job searches, career fairs, Clemson Job Link) • STEP 6 - SECURE EMPLOYMENT (interviewing, networking, basic professional etiquette, LinkedIn) • STEP 7 - MAINTAIN EMPLOYMENT (working with excellence, career advancement, giving back, etc.) By completing each step of the Fifth Quarter program, our student-athletes are gaining valuable and relevant knowledge and experiences that will serve them for a lifetime. Thus, they are able to transition from student-athletes to employed professionals who are ready to become who they have sat out to be as leaders, as community servants and as men.

hen fans envision an indoor practice facility like the one that was completed for the Tiger football team in 2013, certain stereotypes come to mind. Common perceptions are largely simplistic in nature, and the idea that a facility that is solely for game preparation, out of the gaze of onlookers and carries a large amount of importance seems crazy. But the facility was never about football alone. In fact, the

P R A C T I C E

$10 million structure serves to unify the athletic department, while providing Tiger football with a cutting-edge structure that helps complete a nationally-relevant program. On its face, the facility does exactly what it purports to do...provide a place for head coach Dabo Swinney to take his team in case of inclement weather without disrupting a schedule of events that is packed full on a daily basis. It equips the Tigers with a lavish place to

F A C I L I T Y

prepare for opponents in a game-like atmosphere. It houses an 80,000 square foot practice area that includes a full field, which is surrounded by ample sideline space to provide a comfortable environment. In order to simulate a gameday experience, there is a fully-functional scoreboard inside the facility along with four playclocks and a videoboard. High above the fields, on the second story of the nearly 70-foot structure, is

a long coaches platform so that practice can be viewed from above. In addition, by way of a short corridor, the platform extends to the back side of the building, so that any drills taking place outside on the other two fields can be seen from the building. The indoor facility, which includes more than 5,000 square feet of support, will adjoin the new football operations complex, specifically the new weight room, when the project is completed.

he WestZone at Memorial Stadium, completed in 2009, has 150,000 square feet of space, among the nation’s largest facilities dedicated solely for football. The equipment room was expanded to include, among other items, new offices and a new laundry room that encompasses approximately 6,000 square feet of space. The football staff offices and meeting rooms are composed of approximately 4,000 square feet of existing space and more than 18,000 square feet of new space. The facility includes offices for the head coach, assistant coaches and support staff along with position meeting rooms and a 150-seat auditorium with a sloped floor and theater seating. The training room, located on the north side of the home team’s locker room, was expanded to include a hydrotherapy room, offices and examination rooms. The training room is 6,200 square feet as well. Prior to the 2012 season, over 8,000 square feet of enclosed space was added on the second level, which houses “The Paw,” Clemson’s training table. In the summer of 2014, WestZone underwent further renovations, including refurbishing of the recruiting areas and added graphics. Moving all football operations to the WestZone opened up space in the Jervey and McFadden Buildings for the other 18 Clemson sports to improve their facilities for recruiting and have more office, training, conditioning and sports medicine space. This has enhanced the performance of Tiger athletics and the 19 programs, both on and off the field of competition.

ince its inception in 1991, the department of athletic academic services, located in Vickery Hall, has provided Clemson student-athletes a continued commitment to excellence in its pursuit of an elite college education. Vickery Hall has a staff of 18 fulltime members, one graduate assistant and over 100 tutors, mentors and strategic tutors. Our mission is to address the total student-athlete by coaching our student-athletes to success in the academic, athletic and career arenas. Clemson University has a long-standing vision and commitment to the personal and academic growth and development of its student-athletes. That vision established Vickery Hall, which was the first stand-alone facility in the country constructed solely to provide academic support to student-athletes. The 27,000 square-foot, two-story, $3 million structure is an aesthetically impressive structure that provides premier academic support and services.

Vickery Hall and its dedicated to providing a cational experience by environment of respect,

programs are holistic, eduinspiring an integrity and

excellence. Under the direction of the associate athletic director for athletic academic services, Steve Duzan, the staff guides and encourages each indi-

vidual to reach his or her full potential as a student, athlete and citizen. As an original member of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, Vickery Hall, in conjunction with the department of student-athlete development, provides opportunities and services to address the changing needs and skills of student-athletes during college, as well as after graduation. The program has a strong tradition of success and was selected for the FBS Athletic Director’s Association “Program of Excellence” award, recognizing CHAMPS/Life Skills excellence. The Vickery Hall staff is a major reason the Clemson football team is the only program in the nation to finish in the top 25 of both polls on the field and in the top-10 percent in terms of APR scores in the classroom each of the last five seasons. Clemson is also one of only three FBS programs in the top-10 percent each of the last six years in terms of APR scores, joining Duke and Northwestern.

A TOTAL OF 129 OF THE 135 SENIOR LETTERMEN (96 PERCENT) IN DABO SWINNEY’S SEVEN FULL YEARS AS HEAD COACH HAVE GRADUATED, THANKS IN LARGE PART TO VICKERY HALL. THE OTHER SIX WHO HAVE NOT GRADUATED ARE EITHER IN SCHOOL OR ON NFL ROSTERS.

COMPLIANCE T

Ask Before You Act!

his brief NCAA rules education is aimed at outlining basic rules to help potential students-athletes, parents and boosters better understand the regulations. Clemson University is committed to recruiting and conducting our athletic program with the highest level of integrity. If you have any questions, contact our compliance services office at 864-6561580, compliance-L@clemson.edu or visit our website (ClemsonTigers.com) for more information.

ARE YOU A BOOSTER? The NCAA definition of a “representative of athletics interest” generally encompasses most individuals who regularly attend Clemson sporting events (reminder - once a representative, always a representative). Specifically, a booster, or “representative of athletics interests,” is any individual, independent agency, corporate entity or other organization that is presently or has ever: • Participated in promoting the institution’s athletic program (such as buying season tickets to sporting events). • Assisted in providing benefits (such as summer employment) to enrolled student-athletes. • Assisted or been requested by the department of athletics staff to assist in the recruitment of prospective studentathletes.

CUAD MISSION STATEMENT The department of athletics offers nationally prominent athletic programs. Through a dedicated commitment to educational interests, a competitive athletic program and integrity in all areas, the student-athletes, coaches and staff strive to bring credit and recognition to Clemson University. The mission of the athletic department is to sponsor a broad-based athletic program that provides educational and athletic opportunities for young men and women to grow, develop and serve the interests of Clemson University by complementing and enhancing its diversity and quality of life. Furthermore, the athletic department seeks to be a source of pride for the citizens of the state of South Carolina and to be recognized as a nationally prominent program, through consistently high levels of performance and accomplishment in athletic competitions. The athletic department strives to develop student-athletes academically and athletically with the total commitment of aiding their efforts to graduate from Clemson University and advance to careers that will enable them to be productive members of society. The athletic department will act in an ethical and honest manner, dedicated to compliance with all federal, state, NCAA, conference and university rules and regulations.

• Attended Clemson University. • Contributed to the department of athletics or IPTAY. • Participated in or been a member of IPTAY. • Been otherwise involved in the Clemson University athletics program.

ASK BEFORE YOU ACT Prospective student-athletes may... • Identify outstanding potential studentathletes in your area and forward information, such as newspaper articles, to the coach of that sport at Clemson. • Continue to establish friendships with friends and neighbors, even those with prospect-aged children. However, contact with those for recruiting purposes is prohibited. • Attend, on your own initiative, events such as games and banquets where prospective student-athletes are present as long as you do not contact the prospect(s) or their family for recruiting purposes. • Answer a call from a prospective student-athlete (you may not initiate the call) regarding only Clemson University in general, but not about Tiger athletics. Please promptly inform compliance services or the coach should this situation arise. • Make donations to a high school if it is located in your community, the donation is not made at the request of Clemson or Clemson coaches and the funds are distributed through established channels and not directed towards a specific student-athlete. Current student-athletes may... • Continue to come out and support student-athletes at Clemson athletic events. • Provide summer employment to student-athletes, but only if you contact Clemson’s office of compliance servic-

es (compliance-L@clemson.edu) first and the student-athlete is compensated for work actually performed at a rate commensurate with the going rate in the locality for similar services.

ACTIVITIES THAT HARM PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETES You may not... • Contact (including phone calls, texts, email) or interact with a prospective student-athlete or family members for the purpose of persuading them to attend Clemson University. • Contact coaches, teachers, guidance counselors or other school administrators in order to gain information on prospective student-athletes. • Make contact with a prospective student-athlete or the prospect’s family during official or unofficial visits. • Provide any other extra benefits to a prospective student-athlete, family, friends or their coaches. • Provide prospective student-athletes or their family and friends transportation or financial assistance.

ACTIVITIES THAT HARM CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETES You may not... • Generally provide benefits that are not available to other members of the Clemson student body. • Provide extra benefits to student-athletes or their family and friends. Examples of prohibited benefits include (but not limited to): • Gifts of money, awards, food/drinks, occasional meals or other tangible items. • Free or reduced housing agreements. • Loans of money or automobiles. • Providing transportation for the student-athlete or their family and friends.

CONTACT INFORMATION Email compliance-L@clemson.edu Phone 864-656‑1580 Fax 864-656‑1243 Mailing Address P.O. Box 31; Clemson, S.C. 29633 Overnight Address Jervey Athletic Center; 100 Perimeter Road; Clemson, S.C. 29633 Website ClemsonTigers.com

• Professional services without charge or at a discount. • Promises of employment or loans following college graduation. • Sending student-athletes items to be autographed and returned or using autographed items to raise funds for high schools. • Use of ATM, credit or other types of gift cards. • Use the name/image of a current student-athlete to advertise, recommend or promote products and services.

CONSEQUENCES Violations of these NCAA, ACC and University policies can result in severe penalties, including: • Disassociation - Clemson University may permanently disassociate itself with an athletic booster. You could lose the privilege of purchasing season tickets, the privilege of being an IPTAY member or any other Clemson athleticrelated benefit deemed appropriate. • Harm to Enrolled Student-Athlete - Violations can also result in the enrolled student-athlete or entire team being unable to compete for Clemson University.

SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING Please notify compliance services immediately of any potential violations involving Clemson University.

IPTAY STA

DAVIS BABB Chief Executive Officer

ince 1934, IPTAY has been a leader in intercollegiate athletics fundraising, and our brand has been built by grassroots efforts and representatives spread throughout the Southeast who work in their communities to build support. We have had many people contribute their time and resources and who have been tremendously supportive of the university. That has manifested itself in large seasonticket bases, incredible passion and a great deal of people being involved. Over the past year, we have grown the brand even further by expanding the scope of what IPTAY does. In the last 20 years, college athletics has seen significant growth in facilities. The process of recruiting student-athletes is critical to the success of Clemson athletics. As we recruit against top high school prospects with schools from around the country, we need to be prepared to offer them the best possible student-athlete experience. Because of generous IPTAY donors, the “One IPTAY” enterprise was able to raise a total of $56.6 million in 2016. These dollars contributed by our 16,320 members directly impact the lives of our nearly 500 studentathletes in our 19 sport athletic program through scholarships, facilities and academic support. From the Tiger Cub Club to the annual fund, major gifts and everything in between, your gifts matter. As I have mentioned above, we are truly “One IPTAY.” This is to say that IPTAY includes all components - annual fundraising, major gifts and planned giving. Since 2015, we have taken on the management and oversight of Clemson athletics’ premium seating, the IPTAY Dealer Program and the Block C Club. The future is bright for both IPTAY and Clemson athletics because of our very important members! If you are not currently a member, I urge you to join and support the “One IPTAY” enterprise. The IPTAY board and our staff are dedicated to doing everything possible to ensure funding for Clemson athletics will be on solid footing for years to come. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for IPTAY, our student-athletes and athletic program. You are important members of the team, and I appreciate all of your support.

The Band That Shakes The Southland

TIGER BAND TIGER BAND HOMECOMING

e welcome back all former Clemson students for Homecoming, but especially our Tiger Band alumni. Today’s halftime show will reprise a portion of our “Divas of Pop” show to the north stands. After the Homecoming Queen and her court are introduced, we welcome the “Blast From the Past,” the 34th-annual alumni band. In 1982, a small group of 75 former Tiger Band members took to the field for the inaugural alumni band. Hastily put together, this group did not even have matching T-shirts and simply sported a Tiger Band alumni button to distinguish itself.

The sponsor of the Tiger Band alumni band is an organization called CUTBA. The Clemson University Tiger Band Association exists to provide support and to promote the interests of Tiger Band, to provide support for other music activities and programs at Clemson University and to provide funds and support of music scholarships and awards. CUTBA was founded in 1977 by alumni and friends of Tiger Band. The

CUTBA board of directors meets regularly, along with the director of Tiger Band, to determine means of accomplishing its objectives and enhancing the Tiger Band experience for the students. The early vision of CUTBA was to make scholarships and awards available for Tiger Band members. In 2015, the CUTBA endowment distributed $29,000 to 33 students. Other than profits from CD sales, CUTBA is funded by contributions from Tiger Band alumni, parents and friends who care about the growth of music at Clemson University and want to actively participate in its advancement. As Tiger Band reaches for the next level of excellence, it is critical that our fundraising efforts keep pace with other uni-

BLOSSOMGAME THE FIRST-TEAM ALL-ACC FORWARD OPTED TO RETURN FOR HIS SENIOR SEASON. AFTER A BUSY OFFSEASON, HE LOOKS TO LEAD THE TIGERS TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT IN 2016-17.

ew folks in Clemson had a busier summer than Jaron Blossomgame. He seemingly spent more time in airports than he did on campus, traveling from city to city, either auditioning for NBA teams or attending high-profile camps. Most Tiger fans are ok with his busy schedule, because on May 25, the First-Team All-ACC forward announced he would be returning to school for the 2016-17 season after a serious flirtation with early entry into the NBA draft. Blossomgame took part in the NBA Draft Combine in addition to working out for seven teams prior to letting the college basketball world know of his intentions in a formal press conference. After putting himself in position to be drafted following the heels of a breakout junior year, Blossomgame’s decision to ultimately return to Clemson came down to his desire to finish what he started. “I’ve shown I can put up big numbers, but I haven’t shown that I can win consistently,” he said. “That’s the main goal, and it’s the biggest step for me.” Blossomgame took a giant leap forward as a junior, becoming one of the ACC’s best and brightest stars while averaging nearly 19 points per game. He was the first Tiger in history to shoot at least 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from three-point range and 75 percent at the free-throw line in a season.

But the 6’7” student-athlete and his coaches believe he can take his game to another level. He has helped the Tigers to 10 ACC wins in two of his three seasons, but it only left him wanting more. Following his decision to return, he earned a pair of prestigious camp invitations, competing at the Nike Basketball Academy and adidas Nations during a calendar week at the end of July. “The camps solidified everything I’ve been working toward this summer,” said Blossomgame. “The camps were really fun. It was good to go up against some of the best guys in the country.” His Nike experience in Los Angeles also included an extensive film session with LeBron James, arguably the best basketball player on the planet. “It was a lot like the pre-draft combine. A lot of NBA personnel were there. Nike had a section for scouts and executives. It offered more exposure.” After returning to Clemson for good and graduating with a sociology degree on August 5, Blossomgame turned 100 percent of his focus to the upcoming season with his Tiger teammates. One of the aspects of his game NBA personnel identified as a point of emphasis is his ability to facilitate for teammates. His goal as a senior is to raise his assist total and lower his turnovers. “He needs to be a better playmaker for others,” said assistant coach Steve

Smith, who works with the Tiger wing players. “He will command a lot of attention. So he’ll have to be better at helping make plays for other guys. We stress those things to him daily. It will make him better and make our team better.” The coaching staff has also challenged Blossomgame to become a better leader, one who not only leads by example, but also one who challenges his teammates vocally. Head coach Brad Brownell has seen tremendous growth in this area, particularly in the preseason when the Tigers initiated a five-week challenge known as “Earn Your Orange.”

“I’ve never seen him in a better place in terms of leadership,” said Brownell. “He’s enjoying being a senior and a college graduate. He doesn’t have quite the class workload, so now he can focus on taking a leadership role within the team. We’ve heard him be more vocal.” One thing Blossomgame has been vocal about this offseason is the potential that lies ahead for the 2016-17 team. “It’s the most talented team I’ve been on,” added #5, who was rated the nation’s No. 1 small forward in the preseason by Lindy’s. “Guys are really embracing the grind and believe we can be good. We are very confident.”

THE JUNIOR’S SCORING ABILITY WILL LEAD THE TIGERS IN THE NEWLY-RENOVATED LITTLEJOHN COLISEUM IN 2016-17.

BY KELLY GRAMLICH

s a sophomore last season, Nelly Perry averaged nearly eight more points per game than her freshman year. She evolved into one of the most improved players in the ACC, averaging 14.3 points per contest, 12th highest in the league. The phrase “sophomore slump” is not in Perry’s vocabulary, as she recorded one of the best offensive seasons for a

second-year player in program history. Last year, Perry led the team in minutes per game, field-goal attempts, field goals made, free-throw attempts, free throws made, points and points per game. “Last season, I gained a new level of confidence and I embraced my role,” explained Perry. “I knew I would have a bigger role than my freshman year, and I seized it.”

Perry’s new level of confidence showed, as she scored in double figures 18 times and poured in 20 or more points six times. In an ACC contest against Boston College, Perry scored a career-high 33 points, the most by a Tiger since 2008. Despite Perry’s impressive numbers, she believes she has to improve in order to help her team improve on last season, when a young squad struggled to find ways to win close games down the stretch. “Stats don’t matter to me,” stated #0. “I just want to win. We could have won the Boston College game, the Pittsburgh game, the Wake Forest game and the Syracuse game, plus many more. We should have won all those games, but we didn’t. I also look back at the games where we struggled. Those drive me.” The beauty of sports is that each season is a clean slate in which each team begins with zero wins and zero losses. Not only does a new beginning await Perry and her teammates, but so does a brand-new Littlejohn Coliseum. Clemson’s historic basketball arena has undergone a $63.5 million renovation and is scheduled to be completely finished this month. No one is more excited to get back into Littlejohn Coliseum than Perry and her teammates. “I feel refreshed. It’s a new arena, new season, new school year and a new

beginning. We all feel really good about this coming year.” Furthermore, as a student-athlete who will soon spend every day in Littlejohn Coliseum, Perry is extremely thankful to the athletic department and administration who have invested in both the men’s and women’s basketball programs by building the new facilities. “The administration is trusting the process by putting all this time, money and effort into our new facilities,” remarked Perry. “My favorite part of the new Littlejohn Coliseum is the Swann Pavilion practice facility. It’s calming. You can go in there and shoot alone or with a partner. You can put on music. It’s awesome.” Just as the renovation of Littlejohn Coliseum was a process that took time to complete, so is the rebuilding of the program. Perry understands that leading a team back to the top of the ACC does not happen overnight, but rather through every member of the program believing in the blueprint and helping to shape the foundation and culture. “We’re growing and developing a sisterhood. We want to push each other by challenging and encouraging each other. Another goal of ours is to focus on taking each day one by one and making the best of it. You cannot win without improving your culture, and we have done that this offseason.”

MELANIE GUILL PRESENTED BY TIGER BROTHERHOOD

will never ask you to do anything I wouldn’t do.” This is what Melanie Guill tells her first-grade students on the first day of school each year at Ravenel Elementary School in Seneca, S.C. Then she follows with, “If I tell you to stand on your head, what are you going to do?” Inevitably, an unsuspecting student challenges her to stand on her head and the class is shocked when she obliges. Energetic, passionate and dedicated are words used to describe Clemson’s 2016 Mother-of-the-Year presented by Tiger Brotherhood. Guill’s Clemson roots run deep. She was raised in Clemson in the same house where her parents, Charles and Susan Fagan, still reside. Charles spent his career at the Pendleton Finishing Plant, while Susan worked at the university’s horticulture department and then later at Redfern Health Center. Susan was the 2001 mother-of-the-year, making Susan and Melanie one of the few mother/ daughter duos to receive this honor. Guill was a member of the inaugural first-grade class at Clemson’s Morrison Elementary School. She has fond memo“

In 1989, she reconnected with a friend, Rusty Guill, and they married in 1990. She once again made this part of the Upstate her home, with Rusty working in student affairs at Clemson. Guill taught at Code Elementary and then moved to Ravenel Elementary, where she has been since 1998. Her classroom is known as the “Disney World” of Ravenel, complete with an old-fashioned, claw-foot bathtub and ladybug chairs, where her students feel comfortable and enjoy reading. Occasionally, one can find Guill riding down the hall on her unicycle. Even after 34 years of teaching in public education, Guill said, “Teaching never has been a job for me, but a calling. The children I have taught over the years have touched my life in ways that I cannot even explain.” The fact that Guill has touched these children’s lives is clear from her five teacher-of-the-year awards. Melanie and Rusty are the proud parents of Kalyn, a performer at Disney World, and Carson, an employee at BMW in Greer. They are excited to welcome a new member to their family when Kalyn marries Rich Wood on December 10. Rusty has held several positions at Clemson, including associate dean of students and his current position as special assistant to the vice president of student affairs. Through his work, they feel fortunate to have become friends

with several former and current members of the university administration, including Nick Lomax and Almeda Jacks. “I love the college environment, the Clemson spirit and the Clemson family feel,” said Guill. “We have taken the term ‘Clemson family’ to heart and have ‘adopted’ hundreds of Clemson students over the years. We try to be a home away from home and a family the students can talk to, confide in and, hopefully, we have been able to help them along this journey called life.” The motto by which Guill lives is a hymn, which starts, “Because I have been given much, I too must give.” She volunteers on three educational advisory boards at Clemson and is an honorary member of Blue Key. She shares her talent by singing in the choir at Rock Springs Baptist Church in Easley. She will always remember Mother’s Day, when student members of Tiger Brotherhood, Davis Banks and Andrew Collins, along with former Tiger Fletcher Anderson and fellow Daniel High School graduate Trent Allen made a surprise visit to her home to let her know she was chosen as 2016 mother-of-the-year. When Guill retires, she plans to volunteer, administering tests in classrooms so that teachers can spend time teaching. She also hopes to spend some time at the beach and to spoil another generation of children. And surely, she will stand on her head for them, too.

ries of walking and riding bikes to school with her sister, Debra Martin. During this time, Guill looked up to Nancy Bennett, her fourth-grade teacher at Morrison. “I credit Nancy as being the reason I am a teacher today.” Guill was active in the choir and youth program at First Baptist Church of Clemson. While attending Daniel High School, Guill was the Lion mascot and head cheerleader. Growing up, she loved attending First Friday Parades and Tigerama. She has been faithfully cheering for the Tigers in section I since the 1970s. After earning dual bachelor’s degrees in early childhood education and elementary education from Winthrop, she taught in the Rock Hill area for seven years. During that time, she again enrolled at Winthrop and received two master’s degrees. MELANIE GUILL SHARES THE JOY OF THIS HONOR WITH HER MOTHER, SUSAN FAGAN, THE 2001 MOTHER-OF-THE-YEAR.

CLEMSON DISTINGUISHED ATHLETES AWARD

TOM CHAPMAN

THE FORMER TIGER LEFTY IS THIS YEAR’S RECIPIENT OF THE AWARD PRESENTED BY MARGARET BOND. BY TIM BOURRET

om Chapman, former Tiger lefthander who has had a stellar career as a philanthropist and in community service, will be honored at today’s game as the recipient of the 2016 Clemson Distinguished Athletes Award. Margaret Bond and her late husband, former Clemson golfer Steve Bond, established this perpetual award to honor Tiger athletes who have shown great character and become outstanding citizens in their life after Clemson. This award comes in the form of a customized gold ring presented at a football game. Also, the recipient's name is on permanent display on a plaque in Vickery Hall. “Being an athlete, Steve knew he wanted to give back because Clemson taught him so much and created opportunities for him later in life he would otherwise not have,” said Margaret. Before his death from lung cancer in 2013, the Bonds worked to create this award along with the ring design. Margaret fulfilled their passion by presenting the first award in November 2013. “The qualities Steve and I set out to recognize and honor especially involve someone's character. Tom Chapman is the total package! His loving and giving nature to Clemson, his family and his community make him a perfect choice. “After selecting Tom, I found out he had served on a Clemson committee with my husband, where they became good friends. I knew at that moment I had made the right decision and Steve was smiling down!” In 2008, Chapman established the Thomas F. Chapman Leadership Scholars Program at Clemson University, af-

fording 30 business & behavioral science students per year with a three-year scholarship. The gift also expanded the Clemson baseball facilities with the construction of the Thomas F. Chapman Grandstands. The addition at Doug Kingsmore Stadium was a big reason D1Baseball rated it the No. 6 ballpark in the country in September. Chapman was one of the leaders of Clemson’s successful baseball teams from 1963-65 under head coach Bill Wilhelm. As a senior in 1965, he was named First-Team All-ACC after posting a 4-2 record, 1.80 ERA and 100 strikeouts. He was the only Tiger in the 1960s to record 100 strikeouts in a season. As a junior, Chapman amassed a career-high six wins and led the ACC in strikeouts (84). He had 13 career complete games, tied for 10th most in school history, and his 9.0 strikeouts per nine innings pitched mark is still in the top 15 in Tiger history. He finished his

career with a 3.12 ERA and had 210 strikeouts in 213 innings. In the summer of 1965, Chapman became the first Tiger to be chosen in the MLB draft.

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH

JEFF DAVIS

BY PHILIP SIKES

TIGER FOOTBALL’S DIRECTOR OF PLAYER RELATIONS & EXTERNAL AFFAIRS IS IN HIS 14TH YEAR WITH THE PROGRAM.

eff Davis has a relationship with Clemson University’s football program that spans nearly 40 years. During that time, he has worn a number of different hats. He first made his mark as one of the program’s all-time great players, helping the 1981 Tigers to the national title as an All-American and leading tackler from his linebacker position. He later returned in a fundraising capacity, helping raise major gifts when Tommy Bowden was head coach. In his current position as assistant athletic director for player relations, Davis’ value has gone beyond winning championships to grooming champions of both the game he loves and the game of life. He is ultimately responsible for fostering an environment of personal and career development for the studentathletes who represent Clemson University on the gridiron. “Football provides transferrable skills for life,” said Davis. “It is a tool, and we want our studentathletes to use that tool to impact the quality of their lives. My desire is that our young men leave here more equipped for life than they were when they arrived. “I have a great staff with Allison Waymyers and Jessie Carroll. We have a vision of our young men leaving Clemson with a degree in one hand and a job offer in the other. We have always graduated our players, but we want them to utilize their education to obtain purposeful employment. Are they still competing at a high level when they leave us? That’s what we’re working toward.” Helping young men achieve their goals has been a staple of Davis’ influence at Clemson. After an NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and following a variety of jobs, he found himself back at Clemson for good in 1999, when he joined the Call Me MiSTER program as field director. The program was geared toward increasing the pool of available teachers from a broader, more diverse background. Davis’ time with Call Me MiSTER eventually led to a meeting with athletic director Terry Don Phillips, who joined Clemson in 2002. Phillips was ultimately able to steer Davis into athletic fundraising, and his office was located in the McFadden Building across the hallway from a young wide receivers coach named Dabo Swinney. Davis and Swinney quickly realized they had a lot in common. “We began cultivating a relationship and shared many of the same beliefs,” he said. “We’re both intense and passionate. We both played under coaches who were strong disciplinarians. We were strong in our faith. Our families became close. When coach Swinney was hired, I was one of the first people hired strictly for football. I’ve been director of player relations ever since.” Davis also is in the unique position of being the father of two members of the current Tiger football team, twin linebackers J.D. and Judah. Both have been integral parts of the special-teams improvement, particularly kickoff coverage, during the 2016 campaign. He relishes the chance to share the knowledge he has accumulated over a long career with his sons, who followed in his tracks to Clemson. “I wasn’t raised by my father,” said Davis. “For them to have me as an example has been a blessing for all of us. And they’ve done it better than me in many respects. “I model what I do at home for our players who would benefit from the positive influence of a father figure during their tenure at Clemson. It’s powerful for them to be able to access that. I didn’t have that when I came here. It’s special and fulfilling.” And so is Davis’ influence as a father and director of player relations, which has exceeded that of the hard-hitting linebacker and Ring of Honor legend known best by Clemson fans.

RAY WILLIAMS THE TWO-SPORT TIGER WAS AND IS A LEADER BY EXAMPLE. BY TIM BOURRET

ach August on the eve of fall practice, I talk to the Clemson football team about dealing with the media. I go over our basic policies and give them some basic interview pointers. I conclude by giving them an idea as to why doing interviews is a good thing, a good thing for the program and a good thing for them personally. For the last 25 years, I have talked to them about Ray Williams, a two-sport star at Clemson from 1983-87. He led Clemson in receiving in 1983 as a freshman with an 18-yards-percatch average, and also led the top-20 1986 team in receptions. He was on his

136

way to setting a school record for career kickoff return yards as well until he was relieved of that duty as a senior by head coach Danny Ford due to a hip injury. On the diamond, he was a four-year starter with equal gifts when it came to speed and power. He hit 34 home runs and totaled 70 steals in his 200-game career, still the only player in school history to reach both of those marks. Williams was inducted into the Clemson Hall of Fame in 2013. As you can see, his accomplishments were considerable, but some joked he should have been inducted just for surviving four years as a starter for taskmasters Bill Wilhelm and Ford at the same time.

When I would ask Williams to come to the Clemson House for interviews during the football season, he always showed up in a jacket and tie. He was the only student-athlete in any sport to do this for a number of years (Chandler Catanzaro also did it, complete with a bow tie). Williams got it when it came to representing Clemson University and representing himself. While Williams was a pro prospect in football and baseball, and actually played both sports professionally with Cleveland in the NFL and Seattle in the minors, he knew it would not last forever. He saw these interviews as an opportunity. It was an opportunity for some

prospective employer to take note of his professional approach. He knew it would put him ahead of other prospects for jobs when he was finished with his playing days. Sure enough, the native of Fayetteville, N.C., returned to the Upstate of South Carolina. He went job hunting and had a lot of prospects. He landed a job in the business world and has been with Allstate for many years. Life was going along just fine for Williams until he was stricken with a liver disease this past summer. The disease advanced to the point where he needed a transplant. Some doctors told him he should return home “and be comfortable.” He lost over 100 pounds. His right leg had to be amputated. He was not given much of a chance until he went to Emory Hospital in Atlanta, Ga. There, a team of five doctors worked to get him on the liver transplant list. There was not much time. But a true act of God took place, and just 36 hours after he was put on the list, a match was found and he had the transplant. On October 5, the day before his beloved Tigers left for Boston College, Williams was wheeled into the indoor football facility. At the conclusion of practice, he spoke to the team. While his voice was a little soft, his message was strong. I smiled as I listened because it was the old Williams, the one who used to represent the Tigers before a big game. “Take advantage of every opportunity you have here,” said Williams. “It goes by so quickly. When you are in that weightroom, lift that one extra weight. Run that extra sprint to make yourself the best you can. Do the one extra to make yourself the best you can be.” After practice, many of the current players came up to greet him. It was apparent they had taken his message to heart.
