Some of the top college football players of this century have come from Clemson. But going all the way back to the 1930s, the program has been a football factory for individual talent.

Here is our list of the top 25 players to have played for Clemson football over the years. Presented in the order they happened.

McFadden, one of the first real football stars at Clemson, is one of three Tigers whose No. 66 jersey has been retired by the university. McFadden was a three-sport standout for the Tigers who played defense, punting, and halfback. He participated in the 1940 Cotton Bowl, the school’s inaugural bowl game. During the era of single-wing offense, McFadden, also known as “The Great,” was a star player. However, punting the ball may have been his strongest play. For forty years, his 1939 punt average of 43.5 yards per play set a school record. The first member of Clemson to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame was McFadden.
