32. Dalton Freeman

Dalton Freeman is probably the most consistent and dependable center in Clemson football history.

Freeman took over as the starter during his freshman season and had 44 knockdowns, earning a freshman All-American bid.

Freeman would go on to earn All-American honors in each of his last two seasons (junior and senior year) and be a first-team All-ACC selection in both of those seasons. He was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy (given to the nation’s best center) in both his junior and senior seasons and finished his Clemson football career with 3,361 snaps and 171 knockdowns in 53 games and 49 starts.
