This season’s national champion in college football will be decided Monday in a rematch between Georgia and Alabama, but Sunday marks the anniversary of an important championship at Clemson. Dabo Swinney’s vision of taking the Tigers to the top of the mountain in the sport became reality on Jan. 9, 2017. Clemson knocked off Nick […]
Davis Allen added his name to the Clemson record books en route to the Tigers’ 17-14 win over Syracuse at the Carrier Dome Friday night. In the first half alone, the junior doubled his season-high for receptions with six. Allen, who ended the night with a team-leading eight receptions for 49 yards, recorded the most […]
For the longest time at Clemson, the standard for playing the tight end position was Bennie Cunningham. There is a strong argument he still is the standard, despite the big numbers Dwayne Allen and Jordan Leggett both put up in the last decade. From 1973-’75, the late Bennie Cunningham caught 64 passes for 1,044 yards […]
K.D. Dunn has enjoyed watching Clemson’s recent success on the football field. Like many former Tigers from the 1981 National Championship team, Clemson’s recent success and national championship runs in 2016 and 2018 have led to a lot of reminiscing for the former All-ACC tight end. “It is good to see that same feeling come […]
Clemson’s production at the tight end position, at least in terms of catches and yards, has been limited over the last few seasons since Jordan Leggett, one of the best tight ends in program history, departed for the NFL. In 2015 and 2016, Leggett totaled 86 receptions for 1,261 yards and 15 touchdowns, while averaging […]
Jordan Leggett caught a pass from Deshaun Watson down the sideline and then dove for the winning touchdown with 2:06 to play, as No. 3 Clemson rallied to knock off 12th-ranked Florida State, 37-34. Leggett’s winning touchdown covered 34 yards. The win on October 29, 2016 was the Tigers’ first win at Doak Campbell Stadium […]
When he was on a local radio show, former Clemson tight end Dwayne Allen made a special request on air. Allen, who is very up to speed on Clemson’s rich football tradition and appreciative of those who came before him, spoke about some of the former players he had the privilege of knowing. At that […]

A lot of people were surprised to see former Clemson tight end Jordan Leggett fall to the fifth round in last week’s NFL Draft, and no one was happier to see him there more than the New York Jets. With Leggett’s size (6-5, 258), hands (10 3/8 inches) and athleticism, many experts think the Jets […]
