Former receiver and Bethune-Cookman University icon Jack "Cy" McClairen died Monday at the age of 89, the school announced.
McClairen's career spanned six seasons and included a Pro Bowl nod in 1957. He retired from the league in 1960 because of knee injuries and returned to Bethune-Cookman, where he had been a three-sport star in football, basketball and track and field.
Beginning in 1961, McClairen coached the men's basketball and football teams and went on to serve as the athletic director and associate athletic director before retiring in 2017.
He led the men's basketball team to a conference championship in 1952, the same year he was the hero in the football program's first win over Florida A&M, when he grabbed a 38-yard touchdown pass to win the game 8-7.
