Four Current Tigers Earn Degrees

---

Clemson, SC-Four members of the current Clemson football team earned

academic degrees on Thursday. That brings the total number of

players on the active roster for the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl

with undergraduate degrees to 11, a record amount for one Clemson

team in a bowl game.

On Thursday, wide receiver Jackie Robinson, offensive lineman

Micah Lewis, offensive lineman Nate Gillespie and quarterback Matt

Schell all received their undergraduate degrees from Clemson

University. Robinson and Gillespie both are eligible to return for

next season. All four went through the Thursday morning ceremony

and missed Clemson's practice.

Seven members of the 2001 Clemson team already had their

degrees prior to the beginning of the season. Those include

quarterback Woodrow Dantzler, wide receiver Matt Bailey, center Kyle

Young, offensive guards T.J. Watkins and Will Merritt, defensive back

Charles Hafley and defensive tackle Nick Eason. All seven of those

players are slated to start for the Tigers against Louisiana Tech in

the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl on December 31st. Eason still has

another year of eligibility.

One former Tiger earned a master's degree on Thursday.

Brandon Streeter, the only Clemson quarterback in history to throw

for 300 yards in a bowl game, received his masters degree from

Clemson on Thursday. Streeter played for the Tigers from 1996-99.

He was the starting signal caller on Tommy Bowden's first Clemson

team.
