Clemson Football gets a visit from a Tiger Legend
Clemson continues bowl practices, and yesterday the team’s X account posted this video of Tiger great Terrance Flagler visiting the team.
Flagler was a running back for the Tigers from 1982-1986. In 1986 he had 1,176 rushing yards on 180 attempts, a 6.5-yard average. He had 13 total touchdowns and was the runner-up for ACC Player of the Year. He played in the NFL for the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, and the Phoenix Cardinals.
In other news around the ACC, Syracuse’s Oronde Gadsden announced that he will return to the Orange in 2024.
This is a big get for new head coach Fran Brown. Gadsden missed most of the 2023 season due to injury.
Former Clemson Football wide receiver Frank Ladson Jr. has announced his next destination will be Massachusetts.
Ladson was most recently on the Miami Hurricanes' roster.
Lastly, in the “You just can’t make this stuff up” category, the judge has been assigned to Florida State’s lawsuit against the ACC, and he is a Seminole graduate.
