Six years ago today, a former Clemson great passed away
On this date in 2011, one of the best athletes in Clemson football history died of an apparent heart attack.
At the young age of 42, Chester McGlockton, a member of the South Carolina sports Hall of Fame(Feb. 2011), specifically, died from cardiac hypertrophy, which is associated with high blood pressure and heart valve issues.
In 1988, McGlockton, a Parade and USA Today All-American from Whiteville, NC. signed with Clemson. He starred for Whiteville High and later redshirted for a deep 1988 Danny Ford team.
