Clemson’s number of Hall of Fame players should double in next decade

On Monday, it was announced former Clemson running back C.J. Spiller was selected for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Spiller becomes Clemson’s eighth inductee in the College Football Hall of Fame and just the fourth player, joining Tiger greats Banks McFadden, Terry Kinard and Jeff Davis. John Heisman, Jess Neely, Frank Howard and Danny Ford are in the Hall of Fame as former head coaches.

Spiller will be the first former player since Davis in 2007 to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame, which sets up a debate on which former Clemson greats will follow Spiller in the next decade.
