Pat Godfrey grew up on Long Island watching the Clemson team run down the hill on television, and promised himself he would make his dream of playing for the Tigers come true. Now he’s helping young people from New York City realize their dreams of playing college football and is bringing a group of prospects down for this weekend’s Dabo Swinney camp.
Godfrey made his way to Clemson, earned a walk-on spot and eventually a scholarship before a torn labrum ended his playing days. Once he graduated from Clemson with an MBA, he returned to New York (Clemson fiancé in tow – they get married later this month) and is now realizing his dream of working on Wall Street.
