BOGART, Ga. -- All these years later, Homer Jordan is amazed that anybody still remembers him.
But, then, that's Jordan, unassuming and humble, almost to the point of being uncomfortable when the subject turns to him and his role in Clemson's first-ever national championship four decades ago, and more specifically, his role in opening so many doors for those who came after him as the first Black starting quarterback to lead an FBS (then Division I-A) team to a unanimous national championship.
"I'm a laid-back guy. I don't like to be out front, and coming up, I was real shy," Jordan said.
