Former Clemson defensive lineman Jock McKissic played football for the Tigers from 2005-2008 and was named a team captain his senior season.

During his collegiate career, he had 68 tackles including 6.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and a rare 82-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Since his football career ended, he's been busy with acting roles in television and film including parts in Necessary Roughness, Greenleaf, Blindspot, 24: Legacy, Saints and Sinners, Nashville, The Quad, Quantico, and others.

HBO released the first trailer recently for the highly anticipated film called 'Paterno' about former head coach Joe Paterno and the Jerry Sandusky scandal which stars legendary actor Al Pacino.

McKissic also has a role in the film playing a man named 'Tyler' and is seen crying (12 second mark) in the following trailer. HBO's Paterno will be out this spring.
