CLEMSON, S.C. – Clemson University’s military heritage is deeply rooted in its establishment as an all-male military college in 1893. Today, the university strengthens those roots with Army and Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs and over 100 veterans and current service members attending the institution. These cadets and veterans ensure the continuation of traditions and support of the military through activities like the annual Military Appreciation Football Game which was held Oct. 20, 2012 against Virginia Tech.
“What a privilege it was to be part of a day like this,” said Clemson Head Coach, Dabo Swinney. “It’s special to experience it with Daniel Rodriguez. His presence has really made the team appreciate our military and realize that there are a lot more problems in the world than our third down conversion rate.”
Rodriguez deployed with the Army to Iraq in 2007 and then to Afghanistan in 2009. [Read More]
