The name change stems from a series of conversations the senior linebacker had with former Tiger defensive back James Trapp, who now serves as the volunteer team advisor. Trapp, as he does with many

As a junior in 2011, Wright registered 80 tackles, most among 2012 returning players, and five tackles for loss. His con- sistency was a big reason Clemson won

He also had seven tackles, all first hits, in 38 snaps in the ACC Championship game win over #3 Virginia Tech.

Wright's leadership was invaluable on a linebacker corps that was filled with eager young players last year.

This season, Wright will be counted on to lead again for two major reasons. First, he is a senior who has proven to be a rock- solid competitor over the better part of three seasons. Second, the whole scheme is different in 201 2 thanks to the arrival of first-year Defensive Coordinator Brent Ven- ables.

OPERATIONS. franchise's facility.

The new facility is 150,000 square feet, which adds al-

most 60,000 square feet to previous facilities in the Jervey

Athletic Center. It includes a two-floor strength training

facility that is 14,000 square feet, among the largest dedi-

cated solely for football in the nation.

"Our program's motto since I became head coach is'AII-

Inr said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. "This facility shows

any Clemson football player, recruit, or supporter that our

University is 'All-in' with this program. The facility is among the best in the nation and allows our student-athletes to

develop and become the best they can be." The equipment room was expanded to include, among other items, new offices and a new laundry room that encompasses approximately 6,000 square feet of space. The football staff offices and meeting rooms are composed of approximately 4,000 square feet of existing space and more

than 1 8,000 square feet of new space.

The facility includes offices for the head coach, assistant coaches, and support staff along with position meeting

rooms and a ISO-seat auditorium with a sloped floor and theater seating. The training room, located on the north side of the

home team's locker room, was expanded to include a

hydrotherapy room, new offices, and examination rooms. The training room occupies about 6,200 square feet of space as well. The level-three concourse was expanded with the

addition of the football offices. This space, the roof of the

new football offices, is utilized for gameday marketing activities and to provide fans additional space to gather inside the stadium.

In 201 2, 8,000 square feet of enclosed space was added on second level, which houses "The Paw." Former Clemson running back James Davis, the 2005 ACC Rookie-of-the-Year, 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

WestZone is located in Memorial Stadium, the completed project provides resources for Clemson's total sports program, permitting allTiger teams and athletes to compete with the nation's best.

Moving all football operations to the WestZone has

opened up space in the Jervey and McFadden buildings for

the other 1 8 intercollegiate sports to improve their facilities

for recruiting and have more office, training, conditioning, and sports medicine space. This has greatly enhanced the

overall performance, both on and off the field, for all 19 sports.

A look to Clemson's athletic history shows the Impor- tance infrastructure enhancements have on the football

program. The following chart summarizes the relation-
