Five former Clemson student-athletes — offensive lineman Matt Bockhorst, long snapper Jack Maddox, linebacker Baylon Spector, punter Will Spiers and wide receiver/holder Will Swinney — were named Wednesday to the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame’s NFF Hampshire Honor Society. Additional information from the National Football Foundation is included below.

IRVING, Texas (April 13, 2022) – The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) announced today the members of the 2022 NFF Hampshire Honor Society, which is comprised of college football players from all divisions of the NCAA, NAIA and sprint football who each maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college careers.

An elite group of 1,559 players from 313 schools qualified for membership in 2022, the Society’s 16th year. The 1,559 honorees are the second most in a single year during the program’s history. The initiative has now honored 14,640 student-athletes since its inception.

“As the National Football Foundation celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2022, we are pleased to honor another impressive group of athletes as part of this year’s Hampshire Honor Society,” said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. “Over the last 16 years, the Hampshire Honor Society has served as a powerful vehicle for schools to recognize their college football players who have distinguished themselves both academically and athletically, and we congratulate the schools and each of these young men for their commitment to excellence in all aspects of their lives.”

Nominated by their respective schools, members of the NFF Hampshire Honor Society must have:

– Completed their final year of playing eligibility in Fall 2021;
– Graduated players, who have remaining eligibility but will not return to collegiate play (e.g. declared for NFL Draft or retired from football), may also be nominated.
– Attained a minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.2 (4.0 scale);
– Met all NCAA/NAIA-mandated progress towards degree requirements; and
– Been starters or significant contributors throughout the 2021 season.

The NFF Hampshire Honor Society capitalizes on the NFF’s National Scholar-Athlete program by greatly expanding the number of scholar-athletes the NFF can recognize each year. The program further strengthens the organization’s leadership role in encouraging academic performance by the student-athletes at the 771 colleges and universities with football programs nationwide.

Division III’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology led all programs with 22 members in 2022, tying Yale (2018) for the single-year mark for most honorees from one school. Coastal Carolina, Northwestern and Stanford led all FBS programs with 10 members each while Harvard led all FCS schools with 18 honorees. Hillsdale (MI) was the Division II leader with 14 members, Peru State (NE) led the NAIA with nine honorees and the Cornell Sprint Football team topped the Collegiate Sprint Football League with 11.

Fifty-two schools had at least nine honorees in 2022, including Brown, Carnegie Mellon (PA), Catholic (DC), Central (IA), Chadron State (NE), Chicago (IL), Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (CA), Coastal Carolina, Columbia, Cornell, Cornell Sprint Football, Dartmouth, Davidson, Dayton, DePauw (IN), Franklin & Marshall (PA), Gustavus Adolphus (MN), Hardin-Simmons (TX), Harvard, Hendrix (AR), Hillsdale (MI), Illinois, Iowa State, Ithaca (NY), Johns Hopkins (MD), Kalamazoo (MI), Lake Forest (IL), Loras (IA), Macalester (MN), Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northern Iowa, Northwestern, Ohio Northern, Peru State (NE), Pomona-Pitzer (CA), Redlands (CA), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (NY), Rochester (NY), Rose-Hulman (IN), Saint John’s (MN), Sioux Falls (SD), St. Lawrence (NY), St. Thomas, Stanford, Stonehill (MA), Texas A&M-Commerce, Tufts (MA), Union (NY), Washington & Jefferson (PA), Washington Univ. in St. Louis (MO), Wheaton (IL) and Williams (MA).

Jon F. Hanson, the chairman and founder of The Hampshire Companies, provided the funds to launch the NFF Hampshire Honor Society in 2007. He made the contribution as part of his legacy to the organization after serving as NFF Chairman from 1994-2006. He currently serves the organization as chairman emeritus. Each player awarded with membership in this year’s Honor Society will receive a certificate commemorating his achievement.

“It was my great privilege to endow the NFF Hampshire Honor Society, which has greatly increased the number of college student-athletes the NFF has been able to recognize during the past 16 years,” said Hanson. “Nationwide there are thousands of football players excelling in the classroom, and they are going on to become great leaders.”

“We have honored more than 14,000 student-athletes in the last 16 years thanks to Jon Hanson’s generosity,” said NFF Chairman Archie Manning. “We are grateful for his passionate belief in the scholar-athlete ideal, and the Hampshire Honor Society allows us to showcase the names of tomorrow’s leaders while inspiring future generations to follow in their footsteps.”

Twenty-five colleges and universities have had at least one player in all 16 years of the NFF Hampshire Honor Society (2007-22), including Brigham Young, Brown, Bucknell, Columbia, Dayton, Iowa, Johns Hopkins (MD), Kentucky, Lafayette, Minnesota, Minnesota Duluth, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Northern Iowa, Penn State, Redlands (CA), Saint John’s (MN), SMU, South Dakota State, Washington Univ. in St. Louis (MO), Wayne State (MI), West Virginia, Wingate (NC), Yale and Youngstown State.

The Hampshire Honor Society represents an important component in the organization’s rich history as an innovator in promoting the scholar-athlete ideal, which began in 1959 with the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Awards. Click here to learn more.

What to watch for in Clemson’s bowl game

ORLANDO, Fla. – The final day of the 2021 season is here for Clemson and Iowa State, which will square off in the Cheez-It Bowl at 5:45 p.m. inside Camping World Stadium. Clemson (9-3) is vying for its 11th straight double-digit win season while …

ORLANDO, Fla. – The final day of the 2021 season is here for Clemson and Iowa State, which will square off in the Cheez-It Bowl at 5:45 p.m. inside Camping World Stadium.

Clemson (9-3) is vying for its 11th straight double-digit win season while Iowa State (7-5) will try for its second straight bowl win in the teams’ first-ever meeting. Both teams head into this one having undergone some alterations since the last time they played a game.

Here are five things to watch for once it’s kicked off:

Coordinator debuts

Technically, Brandon Streeter has called plays before. He did so at the FCS level with Liberty and Richmond and also on an interim basis during the Tigers’ College Football Playoff semifinal against Ohio State last season.

But this will be the first time for Streeter and Wesley Goodwin to coordinate their respective groups since their promotions to their new titles following the departures of Brent Venables and Tony Elliott. What that might look like?

Streeter, Clemson’s quarterbacks coach for the last seven seasons, said he generally likes to be aggressive with his offensive play calling. Part of that, at least according to running back Will Shipley, is pushing the tempo.

As for Goodwin — Venables’ lesser-known right-hand man as Clemson’s senior defensive assistant — he also isn’t the type to sit back and let the opponent dictate things. As Goodwin put it, “I want to take the fight to the offense.”

Don’t expect Clemson to make any drastic changes to what it’s been doing on both sides of the ball under a couple of coaches who are well-versed with the systems already in place, but it’ll take more than one game for Streeter and Goodwin to add all of their flavor to it.

Still, today should provide a taste as to what that might be.

Clemson’s defense vs. Iowa State’s other RBs

Though Clemson has been one of the ACC’s top run defenses all season, it looked as if the Tigers might get tested this week by arguably the best running back they’ve seen all year.

But that won’t happen.

Iowa State’s star running back, Breece Hall, led the Big 12 in rushing during the regular season (1,464 yards). His 122 rushing yards per game rank sixth nationally while his 20 rushing touchdowns are tied for third. Only Syracuse’s Sean Tucker averaged more yards per game among the running backs Clemson has faced this season.

But Hall has opted out of the bowl game, leaving the Cyclones not only without one of the nation’s top rushers but also much more green in the backfield. Sophomore Jirehl Brock, the projected starter in Hall’s absence, has rushed for just 132 yards and one score. He’s combined with freshman Deon Silas for just 34 carries this season.

Iowa State’s leading available rusher? Quarterback Brock Purdy, who’s rushed for 224 yards.

Purdy is capable of being dangerous with his arm as the Big 12’s leading passer, but if he can’t get help from an effective running game sans Hall, will it matter?

Clemson’s offense vs. a stout Iowa State defense

Clemson isn’t the only team bringing a quality defense into this one.

Iowa State ranks in the top 21 nationally in points and yards allowed, which figures to be a stiff test for the Tigers’ up-and-down offense that’s still missing some key personnel. Clemson was better on that side of the ball over the last six games of the regular season behind a much-improved rushing attack, which included a 265-yard effort the last time out against South Carolina.

Of course, Clemson would increase its chance of being effective against the Cyclones if it can keep them honest through the air. Can D.J. Uiagalelei do that consistently?

It hasn’t happened often this season for the Tigers’ quarterback, who’s had his good moments but went just 9 of 19 for 99 yards with a pick in the regular-season finale against Carolina. And he’s still dealing with that sprained right knee.

If nothing else, Uiagalelei could use a high-note ending to take some confidence into the offseason.

Which receivers are available?

Speaking of offensive personnel, breaks continue to be hard to come by for Clemson out wide.

Swinney said a couple of weeks ago that star wideout Justyn Ross (foot surgery) was officially out for the bowl. Clemson got some good news when E.J. Williams (leg) returned to practice earlier this month after missing the last two games of the regular season, but Williams will miss the bowl because of COVID-19 protocols. Frank Ladson, whose season ended prematurely with a groin injury, has entered the transfer portal.

But Clemson may be getting its second-leading receiver, Joseph Ngata, back for today’s game. A foot injury sidelined Ngata late in the regular season, but he’s been practicing this week with no visible limitations. Freshmen Beaux Collins and Dacari Collins figure to keep getting plenty of reps regardless whether Ngata plays or not given the lack of depth at receiver. If Ngata doesn’t end up giving it a go, expect to see more of Will Swinney, too.

Next up at linebacker?

The Tigers were always going to have a couple of new opportunities at the second level of the defense next season with their veteran linebackers on the way out, but one of those opportunities is coming earlier than expected.

James Skalski will play his final game in a Clemson uniform along fellow linebacker Trenton Simpson, but Baylon Spector’s collegiate career is over after recently undergoing hand surgery that will keep him out of the bowl game. That leaves a vacancy at the weak-side ‘backer spot, which is likely to be filled by LaVonta Bentley.

Bentley has already stepped into the starting lineup once for Spector this season when the latter was dealing with an early season knee injury, recording a team-high 13 tackles in Clemson’s September win over Georgia Tech. For Bentley, the bowl game could be another audition for the permanent job.

Keith McGuire and freshmen Barrett Carter and Jeremiah Trotter are younger players who could also get some reps today.

Christmas is right around the corner.  Once again Clemson Variety & Frame is ready to make it a special holiday for your favorite Tiger.

Kathleen to Dabo: What took so long

Saturday was a special and memorable day for both Dabo Swinney and his oldest son, Clemson fifth-year senior wide receiver Will Swinney.

Not only was it Senior Day at Death Valley – marking Will’s last time rubbing Howard’s Rock and running down the hill – but with Clemson’s receiving corps depleted by injuries, Will also got his first career start in his final game wearing the Paw in front of the home crowd.

After the Tigers lit up the scoreboard in a 48-27 win over No. 10 Wake Forest, Dabo joked in his postgame press conference that his wife, Kathleen, wondered what took him so long to let Will start.

“We started true freshman (receiver Beaux Collins), true freshman (receiver Dacari Collins), and fifth-year walk-on Swinney,” Dabo said. “His momma told me that we now are averaging 48 points a game when Swinney starts at receiver, so don’t know what took us so long.”

In addition to serving as Clemson’s holder for a 67th consecutive game, Will became the first son of a Clemson coach to start a game on offense or defense since 1963, when halfback Jimmy Howard started for head coach Frank Howard.

Dabo was emotional as he spoke about Will and watching him grow up during Dabo’s 19 years as a Clemson coach.

“He’s literally gone from a little big boy to a grown man on that field,” Swinney said. “19 years, he’s never missed a Clemson home game. 19 years straight. I haven’t either. So, it’s been an amazing journey. It’s really hard to understand, enjoy being a parent until you are one. And then they grow so fast. He’s grown up in this town. There’s nobody who loves Clemson more than Will. Unbelievably committed. Just a grinder, and it’s just crazy how it worked out. He did a good job, man. He was ready and took advantage of his opportunities. He’s done an unbelievable job in his role since he got here.

“But yeah, it was a very special moment. It was a special moment last night in our meeting last night for everyone. But I’m really proud of him.”

Will, a former walk-on who scored his first career rushing touchdown on a 6-yard fake field goal in last week’s win over UConn, is part of the Tigers’ senior class that improved to 26-0 at home from 2018-21 and became the second Clemson senior class in the modern era (and in Death Valley history) to go undefeated at home in a four-year span, joining the 2020 seniors.

“I’m proud of him, and it was a special day to be able to have that moment with him,” Swinney said. “19 years, home games – he’s lived and died with every single one of them. It was good to see him walk off that field undefeated in his career here.”

Will Swinney credits teammates for helping create one of his favorite memories

For Will Swinney, a wide receiver on Clemson’s roster, his touchdown scoring play in last Saturday’s game against UConn will forever be one of his favorite memories. Making the memory even better, he got to share it with his dad and brother on the sidelines.

He lined up as the holder for a 23-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter, and ended up catching the crowd by surprise when he ran it in for a 6-yard touchdown instead to give the Tigers a 10-7 lead.

Swinney credits his teammates for the success of the fake field goal.

“It starts with a great snap from Jack Maddox, he’s been doing an awesome job all year, and then BT (Potter) did a good job with kind of pulling the defense to the side,” Swinney said. “Marcus Tate and Jordan McFadden did an excellent job double teaming that three technique, and Jordan did great coming off on the backer at the last second. Kevin Swint, that’s a defensive guy right there, but he was gobbling up that guy on his one-on-one block. Justin Mascoll did a great job going and getting that linebacker (UConn linebacker). Davis Allen with the kickout coming across. So just awesome execution, and I give them all of the credit because I didn’t even get touched until I got in the end zone.”

Swinney admitted the Tigers needed that spark at that point of the game Saturday, as he reflected on this season compared to his past ones where a spark like that one wasn’t as dire.

“What this year has really done is appreciate winning that much more,” he said. “We always preach it and stuff, but it’s just sometimes hard until you take a few losses and it’s just like “man!” You just see how every team has a bunch of good players and just the value of a win in every single game. Whether it’s at Louisville in that locker room or after Florida State or this past weekend, we are just so happy to win, and it just creates that ‘best-of-one’ mentality that we always talked about.”

This Tiger’s senior season might be coming to a wrap this weekend, but he’ll forever be a Clemson fan. Swinney hasn’t missed a home football game since 2003 and says, “This one means more than any of them up to this point because we just want to finish out strong as seniors.”

Ironically, this home game might be as important as it gets for the Tigers as they take on Wake Forest in a game that carries major implications in the ACC Atlantic Division race.

Analysts react to Clemson’s win over UConn

Clemson defeated UConn, 44-7, on Saturday at Death Valley to extend its school record for both the longest home winning streak and longest home unbeaten streak in school history (as well as extend the nation’s longest active home winning streak). On …

Clemson defeated UConn, 44-7, on Saturday at Death Valley to extend its school record for both the longest home winning streak and longest home unbeaten streak in school history (as well as extend the nation’s longest active home winning streak).

On The Huddle on the ACC Network, the network’s analysts reacted to the Tigers’ win that improved their record to 7-3 on the season.

Of course, one of the topics of conversation was Will Swinney’s 6-yard touchdown run on a fake field goal in the first quarter that gave the Tigers their first lead of the game at 10-7.

“How ’bout Will Swinney getting in there … the big man on campus, scoring a touchdown,” former Clemson offensive lineman Eric Mac Lain said.

“Probably going to be the next head coach of the Tigers when it’s all said and done,” Mac Lain added jokingly.

“He’s going to have to wait about 25 years,” former Georgia and Miami head coach Mark Richt quipped back.

Richt discussed the performance of Clemson sophomore quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei, who went 21-of-44 passing for a season-high 241 passing yards and threw for a touchdown with one interception.

“Incrementally, he’s getting better and better,” Richt said. “We kind of thought at one time there’d be this Eureka moment where all of a sudden he’d look like he did last year. It hasn’t been that way, but it’s been little by little, he’s getting better and better, which is a good sign.”

With multiple members of Clemson’s receiving corps banged up with injuries, freshmen wideouts Dacari and Beaux Collins stepped up to carry the load against UConn.

Dacari posted career highs with six receptions for 97 yards, while Beaux caught a 32-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, giving him a touchdown catch in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.

“It was good to see him (Uiagalelei) get involved with Beaux Collins, Dacari Collins — these young cats that he has just such a great relationship with, it seems like,” Mac Lain said. “And when you have that, when you feel good about throwing to your guy, good plays happen.”

Clemson will play its final home game of the season this Saturday when the Tigers host Wake Forest (9-1) for Senior Day. Kickoff at Memorial Stadium is scheduled for noon on ESPN.

“Don’t count out this Clemson squad for the Atlantic Race and possibility to get into the conference championship representing the Atlantic,” The Huddle host Jordan Cornette said. “They’re not out of this thing. Far from his best start for D.J. U today vs. UConn, but showing some life and still moments there.”

After giving up a 98-yard kickoff return touchdown to start things off, Clemson answered with a field goal.

Down 7-3, the Tigers looked to be settling for another field goal. Instead, Clemson had a trick up its sleeve. Rather than holding for B.T. Potter, Will Swinney took the snap and scampered into the end zone for his second career touchdown.

Potter drilled the extra point to cap off an 11-play, 78-yard drive, which took 3 minutes and 46 seconds.

D.J. Uiagalelei threw for 65 yards on Clemson’s touchdown drive. The sophomore quarterback completed passes of 11, 23 and 25 yards to E.J. Williams, Dacari Collins and Justyn Ross, respectively.

Though, Ross limped off the field and had to be helped to the locker room. He appeared to suffer a leg injury and was in serious pain.

Swinney’s motorcycle not a mid-life crisis

This football season Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney cut an advertisement for motorcycle safety that airs regularly on the radio in Upstate South Carolina.

On Monday night during Swinney’s weekly “Tiger Calls” show with Don Munson on 105.5 FM WCCP, a caller asked Swinney about the ad and his experience on motorcycles. And Swinney jumped at the opportunity to talk about his love for riding his Harley on the open road.

“It’s funny especially with your kids because when you have kids, they don’t really know you had a life before they existed,” Swinney joked. “I grew up riding motorcycles, I rode motorcycles probably since I was in the second grade. I rode motorcycles, mopeds, go carts and four wheelers.”

In fact, as a kid in Pelham, Alabama Swinney worked hard to save up money and bought a Honda-150 when he got his motorcycle license at 14.

Throughout high school a motorcycle proved his primary means of transportation until he sold it for nearly the same price it was purchased before he went to college.

“I would ride everywhere, I rode to the ballpark, I rode to school and I rode my motorcycle all over, I loved it and it was a natural thing for me,” Swinney said. “Then my senior year of high school I sold it and I kept it spit-shine, so I got almost what I paid for it, then you go on with life, go to college, get married and have kids.”

Throughout Swinney’s 20-year marriage to his wife Kathleen he dropped hints that one day he would get a Harley Davidson so they could go on rides together.

Then on Christmas morning in 2017, after the Swinney’s opened their presents, Kathleen told her husband that he may have something else waiting for him outside.

“I walk out there and son of a gun there’s a dang Harley out there and I was so blown away I couldn’t believe it,” Swinney recalled. “Of course, my boys said, ‘you don’t know how to ride that’ and I said, ‘y’all have lost your mind, are y’all crazy?’ I jumped on that thing and took off and they all looked at me like, how do you know how to do that?”

This year on the Swinney’s wedding anniversary Dabo and Kathleen loaded up the Harley and took a drive up to Highlands, N.C. for lunch. But they forgot to check the weather forecast before the couple embarked on their journey.

The bottom fell out before they entered Cashiers, N.C. and road construction forced the Swinneys to get soaked. So they pulled over at a little gas station to dry off before continuing toward their lunch plans.

“I went in there and gave the lady $20 and she let me park my motor there and thank god across the street there was a little mountain store where you can buy shoes and clothes,” Swinney said. “Literally we went in there bought underwear, pants, dry shirts and tennis shoes.”

“We were soaked so we let it pass but then it was great we just threw all of our wet stuff in the motor, went up to lunch at Highlands and drove back,” he said.

Football season has finally arrived. Time to represent your Tigers and show your stripes!
