The American Football Coaches Association announced Thursday that Clemson is one of six programs to earn the 2019 AFCA Academic Achievement Award.
Clemson has now won the award in back-to-back years and is the only team to repeat across the 2018-19 seasons.
On the football field, Clemson is 65-4 since 2015 and has won two of the last three national championships. Last week, the Tigers became the first team since the ACC started its conference championship game in 2005 to win its division and advance to the title game for a fifth straight year.
