Garcia is among the best in the nation in completion per-

centage (68.1) and passing efficiency (160.7).

As a result. South Carolina is 1 2th in the nation in pass-

ing efficiency (156.7), 22nd in touchdowns (48), and 25th

in scoring (33.6).

Clemson will counter with a defense led by Da'Quan Bowers and DeAndre McDaniel. Bowers leads the nation

in sacks (1 5.5) and is second in tackles for loss (24). Bowers needs one sack to break the Clemson single-season mark of 16 (Keith Adams, 1999). McDaniel has four intercep-

tions this year and 15 for his career, tied for second-most

in Tiger history and third among active FBS players.

Clemson is tied for ninth in the nation in scoring de-

fense (16.7), 18th in pass efficiency defense (112.3), and

24th in total defense (323.9).

top-five percent of draft prospects at the NFL Combine.

After sitting out as a red-shirt in 2006, Hairston

stepped up to the challenge in 2007. His first season on

the gridiron resulted in 248 snaps in 10 games, with a

career-high 75 snaps in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against #21 Auburn. Other achievements included 16 knockdown

blocks, five of which were intimidation blocks.

The 2008 season was a shorter one for Hairston, as he

missed two games at the beginning due to a non-football related accident and missed the second half of the Florida

State game due to a concussion. Overall, he played 1

games and was fourth on the team in knockdown blocks. He finished the 2008 season with 517 snaps and an average grade of 81 percent, second-best on the team. He

also tied for third among offensive linemen with 10 starts and had the highest grade among Tiger offensive linemen

in four games, second-most on the team.

In 2009, Hairston's third season resulted in a 79-percent average grade, as he missed the TCU game and the

majority of the game at Maryland due to injuries. Clemson

was 9-3 while he was on the field and 0-2 when he was not.

Hairston was a big reason for C.J. Spiller's success, as

he created many holes for the current Buffalo Bill running back on the way to a record-breaking season. The 2009

Tigers finished the year ranked in the top 25 of the AP poll

and won the ACC Atlantic Division title.

Prior to the 2010 season, Hairston was named first- team AII-ACC by Lindy's and Athlon as well as the ACC Sports Media Association. He replaced Thomas Austin

(2006-09) as the leader of the offensive line.

"I still try to stay in touch with Thomas periodically, because although we are close in age, he seems to have a lot of wisdom and knowledge that has helped me grow up and become a better man," said Hairston. "When I have

any kind of question, he is there for me anytime I need

anything. I trust him, because he is a like a brother to me and has always had my back."

Austin is currently on the practice squad with the New

England Patriots.

As far as coaches go. Brad Scott has been the most influential coach in Hairston's collegiate career.

"Coach Brad Scott has done a good job of not only teaching me how to play football, but helping me become a man," admitted Hairston. "He has taught me the importance of accountability and how to prioritize the things in life, beginning with God and family. He will always be a very important person to me for as long as I live. He has shown me what it is to be a great husband, father, and

coach, three things I want to be in my life."

In addition to Austin and Coach Scott, Hairston has always looked up to his cousin, Robert Duncan, Jr. "He has been a great role model for me my whole life. He was only

able to play football in high school, and when I was able

to choose my jersey number (in high school), I chose #74 because that was his high school number. He was an Ail-

American in college at North Carolina Central, where the team won the Black College National Championship."

Having lettered in 2007, 2008, and 2009, Hairston has made his mark at Clemson, while Clemson has made its mark on him.

"Since I have been at Clemson, I have grown tremen-

dously. I came here when I was 1 7 years old, not knowing

what to expect. I was hoping I was good enough to eventually play on television so all my people back home could

see me. This team has become like family to me, and I have

can still improve my technique and I wasn't satisfied with

my projected draft spot. I told myself that I'm a better

player than that. I wanted to accomplish more things,

have a senior year, and run down the Hill for the last time.

I wouldn't have gotten to experience Senior Day. I felt like

I had a lot more to prove." The 6'4", 31 5-pound behemoth has approached things

with that mentality ever since he arrived on campus as a freshman prior to the 2007 season. A local product who

starred at nearby D.W. Daniel High School, Jenkins did not

have to leave his hometown to play college ball. He was so

sure Clemson was the right place for him that he cut off his recruiting and committed to the Tigers during the summer

before his junior season.

"I grew up around here and went to Daniel (High),"the

Clemson native said. "Running down the Hill was something special. That wasn't the only reason. The education

and the chance I had to play were good, too. When I came

in, there were juniors and seniors that were about to grad-

uate, which gave me the opportunity to play."

Jenkins' career got off to a good start when he regis-

tered a sack in only three snaps in his first game, a nation-

ally-televised Labor Day showdown against #19 Florida State. But things soon got tougher, as blown assignments

and a lack of conditioning became a frustration for him.

Looking back on it, he said it was a valuable experience.

"I had a lot of busts," stated Jenkins. "I was getting

frustrated with coaches staying on me, which is going to

happen when you're a freshman. I had a lot of things on

my mind with school and was battling for playing time. I actually broke both of my wrists that season. The hardest

thing about being a college student-athlete is overcoming

obstacles. I think I did a good job."

10 Jarvis Jenkins

After a junior season in which he started all 14 games

and totaled 69 tackles, including 11 tackles for loss, Jen-

kins began to take a look at what pro scouts were saying

about him. The feedback he received was not bad, but it was not good enough for Jenkins to pass up the opportu-

nity to spend one more season donning the orange and

white. In fact, the doubters who gave him unsatisfactory projections provide the fuel that Jenkins uses every play,

in practice and on gameday.

"I practice hard, I play hard, I lift hard, and I go to these

draft websites and see guys I think I'm better than that are

ahead of me," he said. "It ticks me off and I go prove I'm

better the next week. It's a motivational thing for me. Ev- ery player has something that motivates him to practice

harder, and that's it for me." Jenkins has found an assortment of ways to assert

himself this season. He already has doubled his previous

career high for quarterback pressures with 16 this season

and is atop the all-time blocked kicks list with four in his

career. He is also fifth (a high position for a defensive line-

man) on the team in tackles (51) in 2010 and is second on

the team in tackles for loss (9) despite missing the Pres-

byterian College game due to an injury suffered in the

season-opener. Now, Jenkins is back to being productive

after tweaking his approach to the game.

"I was trying to find plays rather than letting plays come to me," he admitted. "That's something Coach Brooks and Coach Steele have talked to me about. They

felt I was trying too hard to make plays. In the Georgia

Tech game, I decided to calm down and let it happen. I played my technique and plays started coming to me."

That mark included four victories in the last five regular-

4-1 record to end the regular season tied for the best mark

in the ACC for that time period. Four of his six regular-

season opponents were later bowl participants. His 4-3 re-

cord included a 2-1 road record, wins over Boston College

and Virginia.

Swinney's first victory as a head coach took place in

his first-ever road game at Boston College on November

fourth quarter, his troops rallied for a 27-21 win, giving

Clemson its first win over the Eagles since 1958. It also came against the eventual ACC Atlantic Division winner

When he accepted the interim head coaching position

on October 13, 2008, he described his feelings as "bittersweet" because he was taking over for Bowden, who had

been his first position coach at Alabama in 1989. He had

also brought Swinney back to the coaching profession in

2003 and has had a profound effect on his life. Both had followed similar paths as players, as Bowden was a walk-on

at West Virginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama.

Swinney received a commerce & business administra-

tion degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three

times ( 1 990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholar-

ship, Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama's 1992 Na- tional Championship team. He was also named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor

Roll member in 1 990 and 1 992.

Along with his appearance in the 1993 Sugar Bowl,

his Alabama teams played in the 1990 Sugar Bowl, 1991 Fiesta Bowl, and 1991 Blockbuster Bowl. Both Sugar Bowl

appearances came after winning the SEC title game.

After his playing career, Swinney served as a graduate

assistant from 1993-95 at Alabama, where he coached In

the 1994 Gator Bowl and 1995 Citrus Bowl. In December

of 1995, he received a master's degree in business admin-

istration from Alabama.

He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February of 1996 under Head Coach Gene Stallings and

coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis.

He was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide's wide receiv-

ers and tight ends in 1 996, a season that saw Alabama win

the SEC Western Division title and make an Outback Bowl

The student-athletes desire an environment in which they will have a positive, nurturing experience.

It is not a coincicJence that the quality of Clemson's recruiting classes has improved dramatically since the

WestZone project began in 2004.

Coaching is the most critical component of such an environment. An outstanding coach can sometimes transform meager resources into a good program, but the greatest success in college football comes when top-quality coaching combined with top-quality facilities allows that coach to recruit successfully on a consistent and continuing basis. Former Clemson running back James Davis, the 2005 ACC Rookie-of-the-Year and now with the Cleveland Browns, stated that one of the biggest contributing factors in deciding on Clemson was the University's commitment to upgrading facilities. "Does Clemson want to be a championship program?"asked Davis when he was considering Clemson. "The WestZone (initiative) showed me that it does!"

Building success requires building for success. While the project will provide resources for Clemson's total sports compete with the nation's best. IVloving all Clemson football

sports to improve their facilities for recruiting and have more

office, training, conditioning, and sports medicine space.

This will greatly enhance the overall performance, both

on and off the field of competition, for all 1 9 of Clemson's intercollegiate sports.

A look to Clemson's athletic history shows the importance infrastructure enhancements have on the football program. The following chart summarizes the relation-

he became director in 1997. He has had much to do with the suc-

cess of the football program, helping the Tigers to 1 1 bowl games

and five top-25 final rankings. While at Clemson, he has worked for three head football coaches and has had a tremendous impact throughout the state at many notable high school programs.

An example of his respect level in the profession is demonstrat- ed by the number of former assistants who are now assistants and/

or directors at other universities, including conferences such as the ACC and SEC, along with several high-profile high school programs in the state. Player Development Assistants Not only does Batson bring professional experience to the po-

sition at Clemson, he brings experience as a football player at the

collegiate level. The Travelers Rest, SC native was a tight end at The

Clemson in 1 988. Prior to his collegiate career, Batson was named to

Clemson was one of eight schools in the nation to be

selected for a bowl game, the NCAA Men's Basketball Tour-

nament, and the NCAA Baseball Tournament in 2009-10.

The Tigers joined Florida State as the only schools in the nation to go to a bowl, the NCAA Basketball Tournament,

and the College World Series. It was the ninth year Clem-

son played in a bowl game, the NCAA Basketball Tourna-

academic year.

Clemson became the first school in the ACC to capture

a division title in both baseball and football in the same

athletic season. The football team defeated Virginia at

home on November 2 1 to clinch the Atlantic Division title, while baseball completed a sweep of Florida State on May 22 to earn the division championship. The Tiger program also collected ACC Championships

Clemsonrigers.com 201 Tiger Football 75 Humble Beginnings From the humble beginnings of playing on Bowman

Field in the late 1800s and early 1900s and the building of Historic Riggs Field in 1915, Clemson has a storied past that is very much embraced today. Under early leaders, such as Walter M. Riggs and John

Heisman, the Tigers built the foundation that maintains

Clemson athletics as a vital force. Fike Fieldhouse was built in 1930 and Memorial Stadium was erected in a valley in 1942. IPTAY, a model for college booster organizations across the country, was born in 1934, providing educational opportunities for student-athletes.

Women's sports were added in the mid-1970s, and with this growth came the Jervey Athletic Center in 1 973.

The most recent athletic facility added was the WestZone in 2009, transforming Memorial Stadium into one of the most modern facilities in the nation.

With this growth and expansion, it is interesting to note that Bowman Field, Historic Riggs Field, and Fike

Fieldhouse are still in use today by varsity athletics and the student body. The Tigers are fortunate to have had outstanding early leaders who had bold and futuristic vision.

Exciting Future

As Clemson embarks on its athletics future, the philos- ophy of holistically developing the student-athlete continues to be at the forefront. IPTAY continues to provide the funding necessary to carry out this mission and lives up to its motto ("Championships Begin With Scholarships") (student-athlete enrichment center), various facility proj- We are confident that future generations of male and by funding approximately 500 scholarships, Vickery Hall ects, and the operation of IPTAY. female athletes will move beyond their fields of play and

have a positive impact on the world, just as all of the student-athletes who have preceded them throughout the

celebrated history of Clemson athletics. Our goal is to pro-

vide our student-athletes with championship-level fields,

courts, classrooms, and civic and community-service edu-

cation that is second-to-none in the country. If we expect

the best upon graduation, we must invest in the best. The exciting and visionary future plans include:

• Completion the WestZone Museum, Oculus, and North- west Concourse

• Renovation of Historic Riggs Field - a new gateway to the

Athletic District

• Facility improvements and additions to Doug Kingsmore Stadium for our baseball program

• Expansion of the Hoke Sloan Tennis Facility

• Expanding the footprint of basketball - a master plan for Littlejohn Coliseum and the Huckabee Annex

• Funding our community-service initiatives

Please join Tiger athletics and IPTAY in supporting this important plan. Call our major gifts office at (864) 656- 5208 for more details and to learn how you can help. I ——— Heisman Donors ^

When his NFL career ended, Henderson moved to Raleigh, NC, where he was vice-president of HomeBanc Mortgage Company. But the allure of the NFL was too great to overcome. In 2006, when the New York Jets hired

Eric Mangini as head coach, Henderson joined the staff as director of player development and served in that position through 2007. He then spent one season as the defensive

backs coach with the Jets before moving with Mangini to

Cleveland in 2009. Now he is in his second year coaching the defensive backs for the improved Browns.

"When Coach Mangini got the job with the Jets, he
