There was a time when Terry Allen walked into a class everyone in the room knew who he was. He was Terry Allen after all – the star running back for the nationally ranked Clemson Tigers.
In his three years as a Tiger, Allen rushed for more yards—2,778 yards to be exact—than any other running back after three years in Clemson history. He helped Clemson win back-to-back ACC Championships in 1987 and 1988, and then beat a top 5 Florida State team in 1989.
But that was 26 years ago. These days when Allen walks into a classroom at Clemson University, he is just another face in the crowd.
