Someone will probably give him a chance. Jerry Martin of Columbia signed as a free agent out of Furman years ago and ended up playing eleven years in the big leagues. After his performance in the Regional, I expected Felder to get drafted in the late rounds.

good luck to him wherever he ends up.

It bites, but that's what degrees are for after all. Best of luck to him.

I know this guy (he is my cousin), He will be fine I am already working on a job for him. I had him one awhile ago but told him if he had the opportunity to play for Clemson to take it. The jobs will come to those who work hard. I graduated from Clemson and told him he needed to experience it.
Glad he did.

As I understand it, he red-shirted a year and played 3 at the Citadel so when he got to Clemson he had a year left.

Request for Brad Felder

Brad, there are independent leagues in the midwest and northwest. You're young and footloose, dude. Pack a bag and give it a shot.

apparently they've existed in name only since 2008 due to financial concerns.

How untimely!
Seriously, thanks for the contributions he made to the team. Played pretty well down the stretch and made some amazing catches in RF.
