JACKSONVILLE – From selling his truck just to pay for an empty New York apartment to delaying his career on Wall Street, the sacrifices Jonathan Weitz made for one more season in a Clemson football uniform were worth every penny.
Called off the Charleston beach, Weitz's graduate season started with a missed game-winning kick against Florida State but ended in fairy-tale fashion with three made field goals against rival South Carolina and a 52-yarder that doinked over the goal post in the win over Kentucky in the Tax Slayer Gator Bowl.
After Clemson’s 38-35 win over Kentucky, Weitz said he knew something special was going to happen from the moment he got the call from head coach Dabo Swinney.
