led the Tigers to a 7-5 record and a Humanitarian Bowl victory over

Louisiana Tech. He left Clemson with 53 school records. The

NCAA history to pass for 5000 yards and rush for over 2500 in a

career.

first-team Academic All-American for the second straight year. He

was also the only Division I college football player to reach the

finals of the Rhodes Scholarship competition.
