Clemson was blessed with some high-end talent at the running back position during the Ford era. Guys like Cliff Austin, Kenny Flowers, Terrence Flagler, and Terry Allen posted at least one huge season as the feature back to the power option attack the Tigers employed. Sometimes lost in the memories of those days are some of the complimentary players who were studs in their own right and often sacrificed the lime light for the greater good of the program.
One such player was Wesley McFadden, who came to Clemson after tearing up the state at Lewisville High School.
