| Steve Fuller |
| He was also presented the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame Scholar Athlete Award, a double that no Clemson player has duplicated since. Extracurricular activities included being a member of the Blue Key, Mortor Board, Tiger Brotherhood, Block "C" Club, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Eta Sigma, Phi Beta Kappa, and Phi Kappa Phi. Steve Fuller's honors may have collected dust once he left Clemson, but his frame did not. In 1979, he became the first football player and the second athlete in Clemson history to have his jersey (#4) retired. He also became a member of the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame and the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame. In September 1994, Fuller was inducted into Clemson's Ring of Honor along with coach Frank Howard and all-purpose back Banks McFadden. Now, Clemson has bestowed another honor upon Steve Ruller. On April 6, 1996, the Clemson Centennial Team was announced and Fuller was the starting quarterback for this team. He left behind a legacy that few can dare to touch. No doubt, Steve Fuller remains one of the greatest student-athletes in Clemson history, regardless of sport. |
