4. Special Teams momentum-shifter

Clemson made its first appearance in the CFB Playoff with a matchup against the Oklahoma Sooners in the Orange Bowl in 2015.

Wilkins, a freshman, was tasked with a huge momentum-shifting play early in the second quarter that will never be forgotten.

With Clemson trailing 7-3, Andy Teasdall faked a punt to the right, which allowed Wilkins to roll out left. He threw a perfect ball and Wilkins came down with the catch along the sideline to keep the drive alive.

That play instituted a momentum shift in the game, and ultimately, was the first block in building a victory for the Tigers.
