Aug. 10, 2001

Clemson, SC – Heisman Trophy candidate Woodrow Dantzler, and defensive starters Nick Eason and Charles Hafley will receive their undergraduate degrees from Clemson Saturday during the school’s summer session graduation exercises at Littlejohn Coliseum. The commencement ceremonies begin at 11:00 AM. All three will play for the Tigers this year as graduate students.

Dantzler will receive his degree in marketing, while Eason and Hafley will receive degrees in sociology. Eason’s graduation is especially noteworthy as he will have completed his requirements in three years. He is the first Clemson football player to receive his degree with two years of eligibility remaining.

Clemson will have a school record seven active players, all listed as starters at this point, on this year’s team. Will Merritt (OG), Kyle Young (C), T.J. Watkins (OG) and Matt Bailey (WR) all earned their degrees previously and will be graduate students this year.
