At the young age of 42, Chester McGlockton, a member of the South Carolina sports Hall of Fame(Feb. 2011), specifically, died from cardiac hypertrophy, which is associated with high blood pressure and heart valve issues.
In 1988, McGlockton, a Parade and USA Today All-American from Whiteville, NC. signed with Clemson. He starred for Whiteville High and later redshirted for a deep 1988 Danny Ford team.
When the 6-foot-4 inch, 296 pounder got the opportunity to play in 1989, he made the most of it by leading the ACC with seven sacks.
