Every day this week as we head into the “big game” against in-state rival South Carolina, we will have a feature on a “Gamecock killer.”
A “Gamecock killer” is a special kind of Clemson football player.
These particular athletes, no matter how their respective teams performed, remain an integral part of the folklore that resinates within the rivalry forever.

During his time as a Tiger, Whitehurst went an impressive 4-0 against South Carolina.
