Roscoe Crosby had the talent to play both football and baseball professionally.

As a matter of fact, he was drafted in the MLB Draft, but chose to come to Clemson and play both sports instead of electing to go pro directly out of high school.

Though his Clemson football career never really panned out, Crosby is now an adviser for many youth and young athletes. He is able to share his story with others and has become a mentor to many in the community.
