CLEMSON – Jeff Davis is still a champion, and he wants current Clemson players to know that they are champions in life, regardless if they win or lose Monday night’s National Championship game.
Davis, the captain of Clemson's 1981 National Championship team, was inducted into the Ring of Honor in 1995. He was a first-team All-American in 1981 when he led the Tigers in tackles. Davis was also named MVP of the ACC and was the defensive MVP of the Orange Bowl victory over Nebraska, the game that clinched the national title for the Tigers.
He now works for head coach Dabo Swinney and the Clemson program as an advisor and mentor for the current players, and he never stops teaching.
