Clemson has so many hometown heroes that billboards have been flying up everywhere honoring the 2018 National Championship team.
Add another player to the list as Tee Higgins has been honored by a digital billboard in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Oak Ridge high school has called Friday 'Tee Higgins' Day' to honor their local football hero. The school will retire his No. 5 football jersey tonight during a halftime ceremony of the Oak Ridge Wildcats boys’ basketball game against Campbell County.
