3. The Great One: Banks McFadden

Banks McFadden was a jack of all trades and one of the most storied and decorated athletes of all time to ever put on a Clemson uniform.

McFadden was voted as the AP’s ‘Athlete of the Year’ in 1939 when he led the Tigers to a Southern Conference Championship in basketball and also was the MVP of the football team that won its first ever bowl game in the 1940 Cotton Bowl Classic. He was Clemson’s first AP All-American.

Upon graduation, McFadden was drafted No. 4 overall by the Brooklyn Dodgers but he only played one season in the NFL- despite leading the league in several categories- because he preferred the family atmosphere of Clemson.

McFadden fought in World War I and then returned to coach basketball, football and track at Clemson for another 10 years before ultimately retiring in 1969.
