CLEMSON — Elden Campbell’s nickname was “Big Easy.”
I think it is obvious, as to why.
First, he was tall. Over seven feet to be exact. Secondly, that’s who he was. It’s how his friends and family described him.
“He seemed like a gentleman. He carried himself in such a good way and good manner,” Clemson head coach Brad Brownell said earlier this week.
Campbell left us way too soon. He passed away on Dec. 1 from drowning after suffering a medical emergency following a day of fishing in Florida. The former Clemson star was just 57 years old.
