The Football Writers Association of America announced today that Clemson has been named one of 11 recipients of its annual Super 11 Awards, presented to football programs and sports information departments that exemplify excellent media relations.
This year’s honor marks Clemson’s 12th all-time selection, further extending its record for the most in the award’s 16-year history. The selection for the 2024 season also represents the 10th consecutive year Clemson has earned the honor, the longest streak in the award’s history.
The 2024 season was Clemson’s second operating full-time out of the Smart Family Media Center, a best-in-class media workspace on the ground level of the Clemson Athletics Branding Institute.
“We remain incredibly grateful for the continued recognition from the Football Writers Association of America,” Clemson Associate Athletic Director for Football Communications & Strategic Initiatives Ross Taylor said. “For generations from Bob Bradley to Tim Bourret to our current team, our football program has firmly believed that a positive working relationship with professional media is woven into Clemson’s DNA, and I am grateful to Head Coach Dabo Swinney, Director of Athletics Graham Neff and so many others for their roles in prioritizing our media operations with their speech, their time, their actions and their support of allocating resources to projects like the construction of the Smart Family Media Center.”
