Jeff Francoeur is a big fan of Clemson sports. He isn’t ashamed to admit it and doesn’t care who knows it, especially in his home state of Georgia.
Francoeur was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the first round of the June 2002 amateur draft. Francoeur was a 4-star safety prospect that had committed (in July of 2001) to play football at Clemson. After the draft, he elected to forego college to play baseball.
Francoeur spent parts of 11 seasons in the Major Leagues after making his Major League debut for the Braves on July 7, 2005.
